The current versions of https://www.rdoproject.org and
https://www.rdoproject.org/tripleo with the above change look great.

IMO: Decoupling "quickstart" from "packstack" will help the confusion.
If all instances of the word "quickstart" could be replaced by
"packstack" in the following page I think it would help:
https://www.rdoproject.org/install/quickstart

I would even change the URL from /install/quickstart to
/install/packstack and I think /install/quickstart shouldn't even
redirect.

Similarly, I'm all for removing the phrase "packstack quickstart" from
https://www.rdoproject.org/install .
