That is a valid point, though I think if it's configurable it is up to
the operator to use that feature.

I think an off-loaded / shelved resource should still count against the
quota being used (instance, allocated floating IPs, disk space etc) just
not the resources which are no longer consumed (CPU and RAM)

In addition I think it would make sense to introduce a quota for Glance
and ephemeral disk size and a shelved instance could (should) still
count against those quotas.
