1. It is 99% done, we've been reviewing the patch and fixing niggles
for a while now

2. We have equivalent features for volumes and snapshots (the other
two entities in cinder with state) and they are heavily used in
production

3. The alternative is getting admins to go editing the DB directly
(which is what we do now) and the logic for doing so is extremely hard
to get right

I'm a strong supporter of this feature, and I just gave the patch its first +2
