Update: In the cells meeting today [4], Surya confirmed that CERN is 
okay with nova-network REST API pieces being removed this cycle while 
leaving the core functionality of nova-network intact, as they continue 
their migration from nova-network to neutron. We're tracking the 
nova-net REST API removal candidates on the aforementioned 
nova-network-removal etherpad.
