The Oslo DB code requires oslo.config-1.2.0a2. This config version has 
supported for 'deprecated_opts' - which enabled the common DB code to 
support Neutron and Nova DB configuration variables.

I was not aware that that the slave blueprint was blocked because it was 
waiting for a specific config version (hopefully the Nova DB patch deals 
with as it uses the required config). My concern was that Oslo code was 
approved in one project (Neutron) and in another it raises question 
(Nova). Basically it would be nice to know if there are issues with the 
Oslo DB support and if so what needs to be done to address them.
