What functionality might be deprecated in Grizzly is still TBD, since
we're still focused on Folsom at this point.

That said, here's my best guess:  the long-term goal is to simplify
the Nova networking code and reduce duplicate functionality.  More
advanced functionality, particularly the L3/NAT/FloatingIP stuff, may
be removed over time once we're confident that the same use cases can
be achieved via Quantum as well.  This would leave basic "flat" and
"flat DHCP" networking in Nova.  Still, this is TBD.
