That was my job to get sent to the TC. I'll get on it.

To test that keystone works with keystone v3? Otherwise what you're doing
is making it so that keystone's gate breaks every time neutron does
something that's not v3 compatible which brings it to our attention but
otherwise just gets in the way. The hope was to push the check job failure
back to the service so that its not purely keystone's job to run around and
fix all the other services when the incompatible change is discovered.

Initially i would have agreed, and there has been a voting job on devstack
with keystone v3 only that proves that all of these services can work
together for at least a cycle. Where we got stung was all the plugins and
configuration options used in these services that don't get tested by that
integrated gate job. The hope was that by pushing these jobs out to the
services we would get more coverage of the service specific configurations
- but I can see that might not be working.

I agree. Very early in the Otaca cycle is also the timeframe we had
discussed at summit so it looks like there is a good consensus there and
i'll get that proposal to TC this week.

For now we maintain the v3-only jobs as non-voting and we continue to push
the changes particularly to projects that are not tested in the default
devstack integrated gate test.

PS. I assume i'm right in assuming it's just impossible/infeasable to have
project-config changes determine all the jobs that are affected by a change
and run those as the project-config gate. It seems like one of the last few
places where we can commit something that breaks everyone and have never
noticed.
