It does, at the exception of this little issue when running in Sid with
SQLite 3.

Sure!

I'm not sure what you are talking about, since I don't agree that
OpenStack doesn't work with SQLAlchemy 0.8.2 (apart from this one bug).

If you didn't know, I already have Grizzly (currently in Sid) working
with SQLAlchemy 0.8.2... (I just backported from Havana to Grizzly a few
patches from upstream, namely for Cinder and Heat IIRC.) These were
reported by me during this summer, and fixed in July for all projects,
and just right before Havana B3 for Heat.

Let's have that one fixed, and let's switch...
