I guess there are two aspects to it:

New people are confused by either going crowbar 2.x or 1.x, which means either 
using Dell's primary area of innovation or SUSE's. Despite the advent of 
opencrowbar, this is still very confusing to people. Nothing to be solved 
easily.

On the other hand, seasoned developers with an eye for beauty are consistently 
annoyed by the continued over-use of Github. People use the "crowbar" Github 
organization for their private feature-fiddling while they should do that in 
their own fork. Whether to keep stable-release branches or use tags instead is 
a matter of taste, I believe. But the following examples are really a miss-
use:

 remotes/crowbar/release/hadoop-2.1/master
 remotes/crowbar/release/hadoop-2.2/master
 remotes/crowbar/release/hadoop-2.3/master
 remotes/crowbar/release/hadoop-2.4/master

It should be one "hadoop" branches with tags 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4.

 remotes/crowbar/release/mesa-1.6.1/master
 remotes/crowbar/release/mesa-1.6/master
 remotes/crowbar/release/mesa-1.7/master

Same here.

 remotes/crowbar/release/mesa-1.6.1/openstack-build/master

WTF? Away with thee!

I guess that's where the most cleanup potential lies.
