But, what if some vendors have already implemented some on-premise features using the Nova extension mechanism, to achieve strategy of product differentiation themselves based on OpenStack? IMHO, the DefCore has already give some advise about what's OpenStack(you must pass through a lot of predefined tests). If vendors can not provide extra features by themselvs(which is backwards compatible), they will lose a little competitiveness on their product. I'm not very sure whether or not my understanding is right, but I really concern about the what's the right direction for the vendors or providers.
