That's a long time to have people getting in a tangle because they can only see half of the secgroup rules through nova.   Maybe I need to think about this as a v2 extension-extension then ?

Well, if all went perfectly, we'd mark nova-network as deprecated in
Havana.  If that's not going to happen, then you can scratch what I said
and we might as well carry all of the networking stuff into the v3.

Either way, I'm not sure it makes a whole lot of sense to extend nova's
view for quantum-specific features.  Why not just use the quantum APIs
and disable the equivalent parts of the nova API?
