[openstack-dev] [nova] AggregateMultiTenancyIsolation scheduler filter - bug, or new feature proposal?

There was a spec I read that was related to this idea of excluding
things that don't match the filter. I can't seem to find that, but the
general idea makes total sense.

As a heads up, the scheduler split means we are wanting to change how
the aggregate filters are working, more towards this direction,
proposed by Jay:

Thanks,
John
