Is CloudStack More Enterprise-Ready than OpenStack?

SoftLayer will become a miniature free market. How fun!
Just hope IBM commits to keeping it up to date & cutting edge to keep the
apples to apples comparison alive.

Noah,
Looks like soft layer is keeping CloudPlatform (I.e. cloudstack) in house and hedging its bets on Openstack.
