I submitted a patch that fixes the py35 gate (which was broken due to 
changes between CPython 3.4 and 3.5), so once that merges we can flip 
the gate back to voting:

These tests are currently skipped in both oslo_service and nova. 
(Equivalent tests were removed from Neutron and Manila on the principle 
that they're now oslo_service's responsibility.)

This appears to be a series of long-standing bugs in eventlet:

Python 3.5 failure mode:
https://github.com/eventlet/eventlet/issues/308
https://github.com/eventlet/eventlet/issues/189

Python 3.4 failure mode:
https://github.com/eventlet/eventlet/issues/476
https://github.com/eventlet/eventlet/issues/145

There are also more problems coming down the pipeline in Python 3.6:

https://github.com/eventlet/eventlet/issues/371

That one is resolved in eventlet 0.21, but we have that blocked by 
upper-constraints: 
http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/requirements/tree/upper-constraints.txt#n135

Given that the code in question relates solely to standalone WSGI 
servers with SSL and everything should have already migrated to Apache, 
and that the upstream is clearly overworked and unlikely to merge fixes 
any time soon (plus we would have to deal with the fallout of moving the 
upper constraint), I agree that it would be preferable if we could just 
ditch this functionality.

cheers,
Zane.
