Hello,

devstack install swift if you are adding the service to your localrc
(as specified in devstack README.rst). By default if swift is
installed it will configure three different replicas and due of the
nature of replication makes a lot of IO which lead to people saying
/devstack with swift kill my VM/.

Since most people are not going to install swift on devstack for
debugging/deving object replication and don't need obviously
availability I was wondering if anyone have any objection if I set
swift default replicas to 1 in devstack. This is obviously a setting
that people can adjust if they want.

Chmouel.
