Also, it looks like https://bugs.launchpad.net/watcher/+bug/1828582 is 
due to a regression caused by that change. The problem is a nova 
notification is received before the nova CDM is built which results in 
an AttributeError traceback in the decision-engine logs.

Should we be building the nova CDM if nova is sending notifications and 
there is no model yet? Or should we just handle the case that the nova 
CDM hasn't been built yet when we start getting notifications (and 
before an audit builds the CDM)?
