Well that's odd, they sort of forget to mention the whole premise of (all the projects composed in) openstack (which is to provide the same APIs across providers, vendors... by its very nature escaping lock-in by doing this).

Also sadly (and maybe I'm taking this wrong) but calling the holy land 'Google Infrastructure For Everyone Else' seems condescending ...

It also sounds super googley when they say "Some awesome people have started calling it .... " Really gives me the creeps when people talk like that.

Author here: yeahhhh we don't know what to call it. CoreOS folks said this and it sorta made sense, we call out the name ookyness right in the post. AsKSHBDDVBTFRcsM seemed, well, dumb. Ideas?

Call it 'googles view of a stack', at least that doesn't make it sound like an elitist view on (one of many) versions of a stack (that yes is just one version of many stacks that have and do work for the <wider world>).
