Being able to support multiple clouds is good, and to the extent that ore has that already and can be extended to more clouds in the future that's very useful. I will take back any documentation on multicloud support to Packet and look at adding Packet as a provider.

thanks

(not going to take a position on Python vs Go other than to note that both have their uses)

Mostly the fact that with the acquisition of CoreOS Inc we have more
people that know and maintain ore than fedimg (where sayan was really
the only person who knows fedimg). ore also has the ability to upload
to many more clouds than just AWS, which I don't think is something we
ever had in fedimg.

I agree Go can be a pain. Despite that I think this is a good starting
point for now because we get the added functionality ore currently has
without doing a bunch of new development. For now I think we have other
"bigger fish" to go after.
