<br>
It's not "done" in Nova: Mikal planned to migrate all of nova-compute<br>
(arguably the largest service using rootwrap) to privsep during Queens,<br>
but AFAICT it's still work in progress.<br>
<br>
Other projects like cinder and neutron are using it.<br>
<br>
If support in Nova is almost there, it would make a great Queens goal to<br>
get rid of the last rootwrap leftovers and deprecate it.<br>
<br>
Mikal: could you give us a quick update of where you are ?<br>
Anyone interested in championing that as a goal?<br>
