So if nova-network doesn't go away this has implications for the V3 API as
it currently doesn't support
nova-network. I'm not sure that we have time to add support for it in
icehouse now, but if nova-network is
not going to go away then we need to add it to the V3 API or we will be
unable to ever deprecate the
V2 API.
