This presumes that Nodepool image builds are Zuul jobs, which they
aren't (at least not today). Long, long ago in a CI system not so
far away, our DevStack-specific image builds were in fact CI jobs
and for a while back then we did run DevStack's "smoke" tests as an
acceptance test before putting a new image into service. At the time
we discovered that even deploying DevStack was too complex and racy
to make for a viable acceptance test. The lesson we learned is that
most of the image regressions we were concerned with preventing
required testing complex enough to be a significant regression
magnet itself (Gödel's completeness theorem at work, I expect?).

That said, the idea of turning more of Nodepool's tasks into Zuul
jobs is an interesting one worthy of lengthy discussion sometime.
