Right, for non LTS ubuntu, if it seems to work, and is still within the
ubuntu support window for said distro, just submit the patches to enable
them.

We're not going to CI non LTC ubuntu regularly on devstack patches (at
least not pre-merge), however treating them as sort of class B support -
users come with patches and we merge them, is fine, especially as it
means the next LTS switch becomes a lot easier, and the deltas for base
functionality are typically pretty low.

If it was a completely different distro, like arch/gentoo, that becomes
substantially non trivial to put in and maintain the infrastructure for
that. So things like that have been rejected in the past on those grounds.
