One of the things Jesse and I have spoke of several times is in making sure that we don't let the scope of devstack grow to the point where we re-invent chef or puppet or juju. It's not really intended as a tool for doing "real" deployments - it's intended to make developer's lives easier, and to serve as an easy to follow living document of what a base working openstack installation looks like. My concern is that if we go and get all software developer on it and make it python and "right" and "better" - that it will cease to be an easy to follow annotated installation and start to become a custom-written multi-purpose deployment software.
