I don't understand how multiple independent code bases with a lot of
overlapping code/logic is a win for developers. The more we can move to
single shared code the easier code comprehension and maintenance
becomes. From a software engineering perspective the amount of
duplicated code/logic in OpenStack is worrisome. Iterating towards
common code seems like a huge developer win as well as greatly enhancing
robustness in the process.
