Open Stack

Thanks for the detailed opinion, Kurt!  It looks like everyone agrees
that we should treat this as hardening and open this up.

Title:
  Instance actions history is unbounded

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  New

Bug description:
  Grizzly included a new feature to keep a history of actions performed
  on an instance.  The history kept in the database is unbounded.  As a
  result, a malicious user could perform actions in a loop and cause the
  database to grow without bounds.  Some of the quicker actions that
  could be used to exploit this are pause, unpause, or change password.
