[openstack-dev] [Neutron] minimal scope covered by third-party testing

Hi Simon,

I agree with your concern.
Let me point out however that VMware mine sweeper runs almost all the smoke
suite.
It's been down a few days for an internal software upgrade, so perhaps you
have not seen any recent report from it.

I've seen some CI systems testing as little as tempest.api.network.
Since a criterion on the minimum set of tests to run was not defined prior
to the release cycle, it was also not ok to enforce it once the system went
live.
The only thing active at the moment is a sort of purpose built lie detector
[1].

I hope stricter criteria will be enforced for Juno; I personally think
every CI should run at least the smoketest suite for L2/L3 services (eg:
load balancer scenario will stay optional).
