OpenStack will move Gerrit and other tooling to the OpenStack
Foundation auth authority when we are free of LaunchPad, this tie is
why it is an issue.  That change will also affect StarlingX and any
other project using OpenStack Foundation resources.

You have this backward.  LaunchPad does not expose everything in its
API that it can do in the web UI.  This has hampered some automation
efforts and in fact was one of the motivators for the SB teams
position of API first.  The situation with Storyboard allows users
with API capabilities to solve their own problems regarding UI
limitations.  This is not possible with LaunchPad.

I am not arguing a position one way or the other, just clarifying the
stated reasons and why a specific organization has wanted to leave
LaunchPad for over 6 years now.
