Semantically overloaded, because I believe it refers to this:

http://keystone.openstack.org/

From my vantage point, a rehash of federated authentication of some
kind would be enormously useful, but it's not really clear if there
are any concrete implementations worth supporting directly: I only
wish it was much easier to delegate authentication so someone could
implement, say, Keystone without excessive contortion. (Or maybe
someone just needs to vend some advice on the "proper" way to
delegate).
