Difference is RPMs versus however stable upstream. We may have
patches in RPMs.

I am sitting in a meeting and Russell is demoing devstack right this
moment. It seems to work great with Fedora.

Personally, I never use Devstack, because we have perfectly workable
RPMs in Fedora. Just "yum install openstack-foo" and voila it just
works. Devstack is for developers who want to have a very quick
cycle from git to service restart (it would not re-clone over your
changes for that reason). I know I should use it, but I just apply
my patch to /usr/lib/python2*/site-packages/....., then put it to git.
Then next version of "yum update" wipes my experiments.
