You still can't upgrade an openstack cloud, so if you want to go to a new version, you have to build a new cloud and migrate all of your workloads. I am not saying you can't make money with openstack, but I would rather be an openstack consultant than an openstack provider, and that says a lot about the actual technology...

Fact is openstack is production-grade and catching up fast on most counts with ACS, and actually ahead on some features like NFV.

Citrix donated<http://www.serverwatch.com/server-news/citrix-walks-away-from-openstack-moves-to-apache-cloudstack.html> CloudStack to the Apache Software Foundation, but it was never set up with the same true, multi-stakeholder, stand-alone foundation as OpenStack's. "If Citrix would have done a foundation around CloudStack, we would now be at a Cloudstack Summit, not OpenStack Summit," Sadowski said."
