If it's listed in openstack/requirements:global-requirements.txt but
not in any individual repo's requirements.txt or
test-requirements.txt then it's not actually doing anything. It's
just cruft which someone failed to remove once nova stopped
explicitly referencing it as a test requirement.

Note I've added a script in the requirements repo (tools/cruft.sh)
to find things like this, so that interested parties can use it as a
starting point to research possible cleanup work there.
