> The major lessons of keystone:

Now that we're verbalising lessons learnt from Keystone, I'd like to add
another thing from back in the Diablo days: We should only ever depend
on code that already exists or is under our own release management. When
Keystone was very young, we deprecated Nova's built-in auth system, but
seeing as Keystone wasn't ready, nor was being tracked by our release
manager, we ended up releasing Nova with a deprecated auth system and a
preferred auth system that wasn't released yet. I'd like to avoid that
happening again.
