I have sent bugs against cinder, nova, and oslo.vmware because they use
Suds, which is unmaintained upstream, and which we would like to get out
of Debian (at least for the next release: Stretch). And no, suds-jurko
isn't better, it as well is unmaintained upstream.

IMO, we should, for the Liberty release, get rid of:
- suds & suds-jurko
- memcached (in the favor of pymemcache)
- mysqldb (this has been discussed at large already)
- cliff-tablib and tablib (not ported to Py3, used only for testing)

Cheers,
