Replaying what I said in the review:

"That is not sufficient justification for breaking stable branch policy. 
We all have customers on older versions of openstack that would like 
newer features. It is the job of vendors, not the community, to figure 
out how to satisfy those requests for their customers, either by getting 
the customer upgraded or carrying internal forks on stable branches."

Regardless of impact, I don't want to set a precedent for picking and 
choosing which features are safe to backport to stable branches based on 
one vendor's customer demands.
