My comment about coverage was confusing. The metadata API is served 
through n-api by default, the only difference with the PG job was it was 
running the metadata API separately in the n-api-meta service. So it's 
not like we aren't running it elsewhere, but we were forcing config 
drive on everything in the gate by default.

Tempest has tests for both metadata and config drive either way, so I 
think we're covered.
