<p class="MsoNormal">> You are correct and this seems to be an error. I don’t think in the earlier ML thread[1] that anyone remembered that the quota classes were being used for default quotas. IMO we need to revert this removal as we (accidentally) removed
a Havana feature with no notification to the community. I’ve reactivated a bug[2] and marked it critical.<br>
<br>
+1.<br>
<br>
We rely on this to set the default quotas in our cloud.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Can you elaborate on this point. Do you actually use the full quota-class functionality that allows for quota classes, if so what provides the quota classes? If you only use this for setting the default quotas, why do you prefer the API
and not setting the config file?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">We just need the defaults. My comment was more to indicate that yes, this is being used by people. I'm sure we could switch to using the config file, and generally I prefer to keep configuration in code, but finding out about this half
way through a release cycle isn't ideal.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I notice that only the API has been removed in Icehouse, so I'm assuming the impact is limited to *changing* the defaults, which we don't do often. I was initially worried that after upgrading to Icehouse we'd be left with either no quotas
or whatever the config file defaults are, but it looks like this isn't the case.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Unfortunately the API removal in Nova was followed by similar changes in novaclient and Horizon, so fixing Icehouse at this point is probably going to be difficult.<o:p></o:p></p>
