Another approach is to have your preOpenStack handler test "the environment"; 
if it = "development", don't do the stuff you were otherwise going to. 
Recommendation in this case is to move the code out into a separate handler, 
that preOpenStack invokes or not.  Then it's easy to invoke that startup code 
manually when you want to.
