I would also personnally prefer that we freeze Gantt, then do all 
necessary works, and only then backport all commits to Gantt (even if 
it's hard work).

The main issue is that we need to estimate the duration for all 
'necessary works', ie.
  - renaming nova to gantt in the gantt repo
  - having unittests in place
  - defining what the dependency with Nova will be : either having nova 
eggfile in requirements.txt, or (way more longest task) using novaclient 
for requesting Nova objects (like flavors or instances)
