We do test changes to the client libraries against currently
supported stable branches. If distros want to perform similar
regression testing against their supported releases this is also
welcome.

See for example, this python-novaclient change last week being
tested against a stable/icehouse branch DevStack environment:

That is a voting job. If it hadn't succeeded the change couldn't
have been approved to merge.
