Like I said, as long as someone is going to work on it, I'm happy. :) I 
just don't want this to be an enable the tests and hope magically 
fairies come to fix them issue. That's what we did on full neutron 
tests, and it's been bouncing around like that for a while.

We are planning on disabling the devstack exercises, it wasn't so much 
that, it's that it looks like there is fundamental lack of functioning 
nova on devstack for cells right now. The security groups stack trace is 
just a side effect of cells falling over in a really low level way (this 
is what's before and after the trace).

Again, mostly I want to know that we've got a blueprint or bug that's 
high priority and someone's working on it. It did take a while to get 
grenade there (we're 2 bugs away from being able to do it repeatably in 
the gate), but during that time we did have people working on it. It 
just takes a while to get to the bottom of these issues some times, so I 
want people to have a realistic expectation on how quickly we'll go from 
running upstream to gating.
