Huh, it's that bad for you? I used to work in the Openstack team at Yahoo, and thanks to the efforts of my colleagues, the first thing we got out of the way was upgrades. One of my friends made Anvil[0] We stayed with the community till the SVP decided it was time to move all of Yahoo to AWS. I always wonder if one of Openstack's weaknesses was also the same thing that was it's strength, it's openness and need to support everything, as well as remaining agnostic to users. Nearly every company I know needs to register VMs on a local DB of some sort, and has patches on Openstack to do that. But every time I went on IRC and asked if we should think about a nicer way of providing this hook, I'd either be redirected to a different project, or get some rude replies. I also wish there were some more modern companies behind the project; a lot of the developers were probably under pressure from penny pinchers in the management. That said, it was a terrific project to start my career on. [0]: https://github.com/openstack/anvil https://github.com/openstack/anvil
