I think it is starting to have the opposite effect.  Packstack, being 
available, gives the wrong idea about RDO:  you are supposed to install 
bare metal.

The Tripleo Quickstart approach is that everything is in a VM.


Packstack is doing too much:  image building, provision, and running the 
system.

A better approach would be to have our tooling set out so that a user 
can build their own images, and then deploy to a VM.  OR better yet, a 
container.


We need to drive on to Kolla.


Kolla as the Controller for Tripleo and Kolla running in a VM and Kolla 
running on my desktop should all be close enough to identical to avoid 
the fragmentation we have now.
