We need to differentiate between what the upstream community supports
and what distros support. In the meeting in Vancouver, we said that
the community would support upgrading all of the services on a
single node together. Distros may choose to support more complex
configurations if they choose, and I'm sure patches related to any
bugs would be welcome. But I don't think we can ask the community
to support the infinite number of variations that would occur if
we said we would test upgrading some services independently of
others (unless I'm mistaken, we don't even do that for services
all using the same version of python 2, today).
