Will this require that the keystonemiddleware is upgraded at the same as the Keystone server across a cloud or at the same time as services such as Nova ?

Many sites do a component based staged upgrade. This would mean an approach such as upgrading ceilometer or cinder to Liberty significantly before the Nova upgrade with Keystone in the  middle.

- Would the new keystonemiddleware work with the old Keystone version ?
- How would multi-service controllers be upgraded where services such as Nova and cinder controllers share the same server ?

Keystonemiddleware will work with different versions of keystone. It will be coupled to the requirements for nova/glance/etc (and have tags for the milestones for the named release). The stability of keystone's APIs and how middleware communicates to keystone will not change. We may have 2-cycle deprecation of  lingering unused features.

This is strictly that we will be doing following the release schedule of the server projects not changing stability or interoperability. With the exception of potentially doing a 2-cycle deprecation of un-used features (as mentioned above).
