I will also be working to help get cells passing tests.  I just setup a 
blueprint on the Nova side for this,

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).

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.
