Openstack should be focused on doing what is possible to encourage getting these projects into production: large-scale QA, defining the "Openstack vision", and visibility to the community for roadmaps, bugs, and advocacy. The big-picture things rather than toolset-level choices.

I'll give it a shot. John, correct me if I'm off base. This helps me
understand the other point of view...

I think what John is making the distinction between is that reporting
bugs and displaying a roadmap for OpenStack, the set of related
projects, should be in one place, and the focus of people working on
"OpenStack" (as opposed to the individual projects themselves) should
be focusing only on large-scale QA, while the individual projects
should be free to use whatever tools work best for them and not be too
concerned about what the OpenStack project (the whole thing) uses or
needs.
