I don't think commoditizing the cloud, in the sense of attempting to make all cloud providers ferature-for-feature compatible, is the right goal either. Sure, ideally we'd like if it possible to easily migrate our entire stack from one cloud host to another with minimal disruption, but frankly it doesn't happen that often, so that's too narrow a use case for OpenStack to try to solve. Instead OpenStack's intent is you have a bunch of hardware in a datacenter, then you use this software to make your own cloud on that hardware. That in turn opens up the market for more cloud providers. Obviously Amazon offers the most mature feature set in that space so trying to offer similar features as Amazon is a worthy goal.
