Before thinking about LTS policy we should actually think about having a
tree that you can land code in... because today, you can't with icehouse.

https://review.openstack.org/#/c/125075/ is on recheck #7 - still failing.

Note, this is *after* we turned off the 2 highest failing tests on
icehouse as well to alleviate the issue.
