Right, so my first suggestion would be to add a configuration option
where one could toggle to enable or disable the new scheduler filters
(defaulting to disabled). But if Nova doesn't want to add a new
configuration option unless it's absolutely necessary I think we could
just disable it for now (just like the patch is proposing right now)
and open a bug about it so we can keep track of the problem. And if we
figure out that this problem is affecting someone out there we can
then fix it by whether adding the configuration option or creating a
new filter or ... We can talk about the proper fix as part of that
bug.

Cheers,
