lower constratis is not a required part fo the PTI
https://governance.openstack.org/tc/reference/pti/python.html
https://governance.openstack.org/tc/reference/project-testing-interface.html
so its technially a per project desision as far as i am aware.
while project were encouraged to adopt lower constratit testing we did not require all project
to provide it and i belive there are some that dont unless im mistaken.
so neutron could drop lc testing too i belive if it desired too.
unless im misinterperting things
