@John: When deploying i.e. Manila, you *need* to install the lib on the node where the manila-share process is running. Otherwise you can not use the manila (NetApp) backend. So this is something a deployer needs to install. And distributions want to install it to not make the deployment of OpenStack more complicated than it is already.
