I know there was a "heated" discussion for the common code at the essex 
conference.

I was thinking about it and was wondering if we can establish something like 
apache commons but for openstack.
This way openstack could have something like apache commons configuration ( 
http://commons.apache.org/configuration/) which allows multiple backing 
configuration types (ie files, databases...). This way there still could be a 
gflags impl and a file impl so that everyone will be happy. Similarly 
http://commons.apache.org/logging/ provides something similar for logging, 
perhaps the model that apache has done could be something similar to what 
openstack could do for its common code. Maybe also these types of projects 
already exist for python (?) and we just need a common reference point to let 
others know when they are developing for openstack they should try to use the 
common components.
