But let's try to answer this one. From my understanding, you mean to
utilize the OpenShift Ansible scripts to setup a developer
environment? Well, the intention of the scripts is to setup a
production-grade cluster. We would need an all-in-one setup, and this
means to make compromises. This is, as I can understand, likely a
scenario that can cause issues which might result in a suboptimal
setups when a production setup was intended.

Let's day this is part of the discussions we are going to have with
the OpenShift team responsible for the rewrite of the `cluster up`
bootstrap method. At the moment this is a big unknown...
