Well, I partially disagree. Are you saying that nobody is allowed to run
a plugin in Nova? So what are these plugins in the first place?
Or if you're saying that Ceilometer cannot have plugins in Nova, I would
like to know why.

What is wrong, I agree, is that we have to use and mock nova internals
to test our plugins. OTOH anyone writing plugin for Nova will have the
same issue. To which extend this is a problem with the plugin system,
I'll let everybody thing about it. :)

We just need the possibility to run some code before an instance is
deleted, in a synchronous manner – i.e. our code needs to be fully
executed before Nova can actually destroyes the VM.
