[openstack-dev] [neutron] CI jobs take pretty long, can we improve that?

I would rather remove all the single-node jobs. Nova has been moving to
multinode jobs for their gate (if I recall correctly my
conversation with Dan Smith) and we should be moving in this direction
too. We should test Neutron the way it is deployed in production.

Also, who is really monitoring the periodic jobs? Truthfully? I know
there are some IPv6 jobs that are periodic and I'll be the first to
admit that I am not following them *at all*.

So, my thinking is, unless it's running at the gate and inflicting pain
on people, it's not going to be a treated as a priority. Look at Linux
Bridge - serious race conditions that existed for years only
got fixed once I inflicted pain on all the Neutron devs by making it
voting and running on every patchset (sorry, not sorry).
