One thing to note, is that we're working on getting up some additional
smoke testing/CI of these nightly builds via Packstack installs
(all-in-one and multi-node)

Smokestack itself already does testing on the packages it builds, but it
doesn't use Packstack (it just uses the puppet modules directly) and I
don't think it does multi-host installs.

So this 2nd level of deployment validation will allow us to tag specific
Smokestack builds as either good or bad.  Ideally we have multiple repos
here instead of a monolithic one.  For example:

openstack/openstack-trunk/el6/20130724
openstack/openstack-trunk/el6/20130725
openstack/openstack-trunk/el6/20130726

With links like:

openstack/openstack-trunk/el6/latest -> 20130726
openstack/openstack-trunk/el6/latest-good -> 20130725

Pádraig, can you add this note to the Quickstart itself?

Never been closer :)

Terry (otherwiseguy on irc) can provide more detail here and an
announcement to list when things are ready
