UPD: I believe we can merge neutron repo patches again now since https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/neutron/+/921309 merged.

Hi Neutrinos,

It was noticed today by Mohammed Naser that the neutron gate was only
running the docs and pep8 jobs. We were able to track it down to the RE2
patches that were recently merged [0]. Until the reverts land please
don't +W anything since it could merge untested and would just need to
be reverted.

Other projects might have similar issues if they updated code using the
'negate' directive for regex recently as we found it doesn't actually
work with RE2 when using negative lookahead [1].

Thanks,

-Brian
