[openstack-dev] [Fuel] tracking bugs superseded by blueprints

I think it is better to keep such bugs open. Please see
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/fuel/+spec/granular-network-functions .
There are some related bugs here. One is fixed, another one is in progress,
two are closed. If bug is strictly coherent with blueprint (like
https://bugs.launchpad.net/fuel/+bug/1355764 for this BP) is can be closed
almost without doubt. But some of them can be solved separately somehow or
have workarounds. Sometimes scope of BP can be changed (e.g. split to
several BPs) or its timeline is changed so bugs should not be lost without
care.
