Re: [Rdo-list] [OpenStack-docs] [install-guide] Status of RDO

In the case of *-dist.conf files with RDO packages, they seldom receive updates leading to deprecation warnings and sometimes override useful upstream default values. For example, most if not all services default to keystone for authentication (auth_strategy), yet the RDO neutron packages revert authentication to "noauth" in the *-dist.conf file. In another example, the RDO keystone package only includes the keystone-paste.ini file as /usr/share/keystone/keystone-dist-paste.ini rather than using the standard location and name which leads to confusion, particularly for new users. The installation guide contains quite a few extra steps and option-value pairs that work around the existence and contents of *-dist.conf files... additions that unnecessarily increase complexity for our audience of new users.
