It saddens me that this is what OpenStack is becoming.  There is no reason
that the swift team couldn't right now just fork to github, and leave the
pieces for you to figure out.  Instead, they are trying to do the right
thing, work within the system and get things done in a way that will work
for all sides.  You on the other hand are ready to just kick them out just
like that?

This is not the OpenStack that I signed up for.
