Hi,

It's no surprise for anyone that's been following it: Nose was deprecated years ago, and now, we're trying to remove it from Debian. Therefore, 49 bugs were filled against the Debian OpenStack package.

It'd be nice if upstream OpenStack was also following this move, and removing nose from global-requirements. I'm not sure if it'd be a big deal if that wasn't the case, as I could use a different test runner in Debian, but I very much would prefer if it was the case. nose was ment to be replaced in all project by stestr many years ago

a quick search shows that of the big project swift and trove are porbly the only ones that still install it https://codesearch.opendev.org/?q=nose&i=nope&literal=nope&files=.*requirements.*&excludeFiles=&repos= looking at swift i also see stestr but they are still using nosetest in there tox.ini https://opendev.org/openstack/swift/src/branch/master/tox.ini#L20 that shoudl be trivial to swap over for any of the project but would obviouly have to be done and possibly backported depenidng on what openstack verions require it. i also noticed that many of the charms reference it so it might be more impactful for the charm based installer.

Probably Ubuntu will follow the same path, since Nose isn't in main (it's in Universe, meaning Debian maintained...).

Your thoughts?
