[openstack-dev] [Nova] Release criticality of bug 1365606 (get_network_info efficiency for nova-network)

To explain my rationale:

I think it is totally reasonable to be conservative and wait to merge
the actual fixes to the network calls[1][2] until Kilo and have them
go through the stable/backports process. Unfortunately, due to our object
design, if we block https://review.openstack.org/#/c/119521/ then there
is no way we can backport those fixes, so we are stuck for a full 6
months with abysmal performance. This is why I’ve been pushing to get
that one fix in. That said, I will happily decouple the two patches.
