Sorry for posting twice, the first got delayed for some reason.  Figured 
this deserved a top level post anyway.


Regarding thread safety,  if Apache runs in pre-fork mode,  we don't 
have to worry about that:  each request comes in a separate process.  
The issue is session state, which is not maintained across requests.

Keystone doesn't have sessions, so for Keystone, it is a non-issue.  I 
can't speak to the rest of the 'stack.
