The problem I see with this is that it's fundamentally not a fair system.

If someone is trying to fix a bug in the libvirt driver, it's wrong to 
expect them to try to debug issues with neutron being unstable.  They 
likely don't have the skillset to do it, and we shouldn't expect them to 
do so.  It's a waste of developer time.
