A distinct possibility, but AFAICT, Red Hat has declined to
participate in OpenStack directly so far, which is well within their
rights (and perhaps strategy).  I'm not too concerned though - it has
happened over time that packages move from EPEL into RHEL proper,
there are procedures in place for such to ensure a smooth upgrade path
for users/customers, should Red Hat choose to do so.

I hadn't realized that Grid Dynamics did the original packaging for
RHEL; Mirantis picked it up for Fedora, then Mark and I, and now Angus
Salkeld have made improvements from there.  Time to re-merge with the
GD work before we get too far apart to make that clean, and to get
everyone working towards the same goal from a unified tree.
