[Distutils] Library instability on PyPI and impact on OpenStack

[Marcus Smith]

yes, to what Reinout said.

also, I thought this post from one of your threads was good

http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2013-February/006103.html

if you want repeatable installs and testing throughout your release cycle,
you have to pin your whole dependency tree.
but in order to not get "frozen" on old stuff, you'll want a process for
testing out upgrades in a controlled way, but not just letting it happen
unpredictably.
