All plugins will require the Smokestack/Tempest tests to be claimed as
supported. This will be required by Icehouse-2. The only thing I am
bringing up here is whether or not we allow new plugins into the tree
without the tests, given we're already in the Icehouse development cycle.
That's what I suspect we need more input on from the rest of the Neutron
core team.

Thanks,
Kyle
