Can we strip this down a bit?  I don't see any benefit in running tests that verify Swift's behaviour other than where it interacts with Nova.

I hope we can safely say that we should run against all "gating" tests which require Nova?  Currently we run quite a number of tests in the gate that succeed even when Nova is not running as the gate isn't just for Nova but for all projects.

It would be trivial to kill Nova, run the full tempest and only enable those jobs for a new flavour which we must run.

Thoughts?
