Hi Kevin,

Thanks for your interest!

In the current implementation for Nested Quota, we want to provide a better
way to handle with Hierarchical Multitenancy on Nova, like we did on Cinder
<https://github.com/openstack/cinder/commit/8a7ab267a6bbd48fc5e9ccb91a1472cf1e017e3f>.
Also, I already created the subteam on the etherpad:
https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/mitaka-nova-priorities-tracking

About the re-design, I agree the quota concept that we have today it's not
optimized and consistent.  I think that the problem that we're trying to
solve is create a simple solution that says if the user should or shouldn't
perform the action. Some similar what we are doing with the policy
enforcement.

If we want discuss more about it, i'm available :)

Cheers,

Raildo
