First off, I'm really pleased that the containerized undercloud effort has
been reinvigerated for queens.  The containerized undercloud work has been
awesome, really nice work to everyone involved!!

I totally agree we should be shifting to using the undercloud only and
deploy the services we want need for the scenarios on the single node.

I think we should start putting plans in place to start shifting work to
the undercloud only approach, however I think it is way too early to talk
about not deploying the overcloud in CI.  I'd prefer to take a step by step
phased approach to such a large change.

Really good point Emilien and thanks for raising it!!
