I think the conclusion is fair, especially if you consider that for the OpenStack project to convincingly do binary distributions we would also need to support a wider range distros/platforms. But if a thriving community effort around doing producing binary distributions of OpenStack for multiple platforms did happen to develop, I think it would be valid to leave open the possibility of that effort joining the project. That doesn't look terribly likely right now, though.
