Not being involved in trove, but some general comments on backports.

It would be easier if you directly link to patches in question.

It depends on what is a 'database change' above. If it's a schema
change, then it's a complete no-go for backports. A change to API is
also suspicious, but without details it's hard to say. Finally, the
need to patch a client to utilize the change probably means that it's
not a bug fix (or at least, not an easy one).

Where do those flavor UUIDs come from? Were they present/supported in
nova/juno?

Without details, it's hard to say for sure, but for initial look, the
change you describe is too far stretching and has lots of issues that
would make backport hard if not impossible.
