Swift Support in 4.2

On July 3rd, Edison Su reported that support for Swift is broken due to the object store refactor. There's been a fair amount of discussion on how an extant feature could be broken without being exposed via testing, and what should be done about it at this stage.

David Nalley says that "unplanned/unannounced deprecation of a feature is a blocker IMO. It engenders a bad relationship with our users, and strands them on previous versions with no good migration/upgrade path." Chip Childers says that "I believe that this was an honest mistake, but we need to figure out what to do. I'm -1 on us saying 'we'll drop Swift support'. If necessary, I'd say that we need to roll back the object-store branch merge... I don't want to see that happen, though. That's why I'm asking about the effort to fix it."

Chip opened CLOUDSTACK-3400 as a blocker against 4.2 until Swift support is fixed. Discussion about the bug continues.
