Hi Marc,

Both are valid strategies as I understand it, you will find that currently we configure most of the services in this manner with a view to getting the user up and running as quickly as possible (I think the notable exception is OpenStack Networking).

Currently, it's not, I will raise a bug to address this and make readers aware of both options. The diagram should likely be updated to indicate that this is optional as well.
