My question would be what hardware this runs on, and who's on the hook 
to be the sysadmin. OSAS (The Open Source and Standards group within Red 
Hat) has a community server cage that can be dipped into for this, but 
if you have something else in mind, that's fine.

I'm also wondering if this is Yet Another, or if this will actually 
consolidate various of the far-flung bits. I echo David's concern that 
at the end of this we'll have N+1 bits to keep track of.

I just opened https://github.com/redhat-openstack/website/issues/131 to 
try to put together a document that shows where all the bits are, and 
how they work with one another. It seems to get more complicated all the 
time, and I don't know that we have it well documented anywhere. If we 
do, I haven't seen it.
