It's that time of year again to talk about killing this job, at least 
from the integrated gate (move it to experimental for people that care 
about postgresql, or make it gating on a smaller subset of projects like 
oslo.db).

The postgresql job used to have three interesting things about it:

1. It ran keystone with eventlet (which is no longer a thing).
2. It runs the n-api-meta service rather than using config drive.
3. It uses postgresql for the database.

So #1 is gone, and for #3, according to the April 2016 user survey (page 
40) [1], 4% of reporting deployments are using it in production.

I don't think we're running n-api-meta in any other integrated gate 
jobs, but I'm pretty sure there is at least one neutron job out there 
that's running with it that way. We could also consider making the 
nova-net dsvm full gate job run n-api-meta, or vice-versa with the 
neutron dsvm full gate job.

We also have to consider that with HP public cloud being gone as a node 
provider and we've got fewer test nodes to run with, we have to make 
tough decisions about which jobs we're going to run in the integrated gate.

I'm bringing this up again because Nova has a few more jobs it would 
like to make voting on it's repo (neutron LB and live migration, at 
least in the check queue) but there are concerns about adding yet more 
jobs that each change has to get through before it's merged, which means 
if anything goes wrong in any of those we can have a 24 hour turnaround 
on getting an approved change back through the gate.
