I think that both are incredibly useful. With my as-yet-still-limited 
understanding of Chef, it would be possible to have both an SAIO and a 
multi-node Swift cookbook in the same repo, no? Or some combination of 
cookbooks and roles that would allow a node to install SAIO or a piece 
of the Swift multi-node puzzle?
