If you colocate neutron (mitaka) services with other (kilo) services on the same node, and if they are not isolated in a container, they share runtime environment, including their python dependencies. I am not even sure your packaging system will allow you to install such a mixed environment. But if it will, all bets are off on whether it will work in any way since now kilo services will use (some) mitaka dependencies, which is definitely not supported by upstream.
