Gate issues are complicated due to the fact that currently we have 
multiple failures for nova:
1) eventlet patch missing/eventlet not capped;
2) boto patch missing/boto not capped.

Currently if you want to pass gate, you have two options:
a) squash boto and eventlet patches and merge them in;
b) merge in an update to requirements.txt that will cap both eventlet 
and boto.

The latter seems to be more straightforward. If you are interested in 
making sure stable branches work ok with new boto/eventlet releases, you 
will have time to resolve it while gate will be in good shape and not 
broken (including master). After both boto and eventlet patches are 
merged in all stable branches, we may reconsider uncapping them.
