OpenStack Folsom Design Summit

Swift is often considered (for good and bad reasons) as the black sheep of the OpenStack flock. It's the only OpenStack core project using specific versioning, frequent releases, feature-based/unpredictable schedule, internal QA sign-off... Can we (should we) change things where possible to fix that perception ? Where can Swift align with the other projects ? Where should the other projects align with Swift ? Where should the difference just be understood and accepted ? (Session lead is Thierry Carrez)
