This doesn't mean different "places", ie toolsets. Different "roles". Openstack 
should be focused on doing what is possible to encourage getting these projects 
into production: large-scale QA, defining the "Openstack vision", and 
visibility to the community for roadmaps, bugs, and advocacy. The big-picture 
things rather than toolset-level choices.

Absolutely agree. This is the issue that needs to be resolved. I wouldn't have 
worded it exactly like you did here, but this does get to the heart of the 
issue, and it's why we're talking about this in the first place.

As a side-note here, I'd really like to avoid an "us vs them" mentality for 
this debate. Let's please discuss the arguments based on their merits rather 
than framing things in a dev team A vs dev team B way.

The right answer for the wrong reasons may still be the wrong answer. Using 
foobar hosting is not the important decision to me. The important issue is 
whether a project can use foobar hosting or not, at its own discretion.
