Hey,
I am not a Nova developer but I still have an opinion.

>Using boolean assertions
I like what you propose. We should use and enforce the assert* that best matches the intention. It's about semantic and the more precise we are, the better.

>Using same order of arguments in equality assertions
Why not. But I don't know how we can write a Hacking rule for this. So you may fix all the occurrences for this now, but it might get back in the future.

>Using LOG.warn instead of LOG.warning
I am -1 on this. The part that comes after LOG. (LOG.warning, LOG.error, LOG.debug, etc) is the log level, it's not a verb. In syslog, the well-known log level is "warning" so the correct method to use here is, imo, log.warning().

Have you concidered submitting this hacking rules to the hacking project here : https://github.com/openstack-dev/hacking ? I am sure these new rules makes sense on other openstack projects.

Yes as written this is low priority but something necessary for a
project like Nova it is.

Considered that I feel sad to take your time. Can I suggest you to
take no notice of this and let's others developers working on Nova too
do this job ?
