Overall, I think it's a great thing to have commonality between the projects on option names and environment variables. I think it's worthwhile to push for that in the swift cli tool in the essex timeframe.

On the topic of common config libraries, though, I think the differences are less important. Mark's wiki page describing a common config library sounds interesting, but I agree with Monty that it may be better to be a separate (ie non-openstack) module.

I think it is most important to get the common code established, so I'm up for implementing you changes in Nova.  I think it is important to get buy in from Jay and the Glance team ASAP as well.

They have a huge install base, so changing their config files could be significantly more difficult, but it doesn't look too diffferent from what they are doing.  John, thoughts?
