In the current state of the computer drivers, the exists an inverted 
inheritance in that OpenStack inherits from Rackspace, where Rackspace (and 
potentially other specific OpenStack providers) should rather inherit from 
OpenStack. This inversion complicated several things: 

* Support for multiple OpenStack providers. 
* Support for multiiple OpenStack API versions in general. 
* Separately, future migration of the Rackspace driver to a new OpenStack 
version (e.g. migrating Rackspace to OpenStack 1.1 would migrate all OpenStack 
subclasses to 1.1).
