+1. All the base job from Tempest and Devstack (except grenade which is in progress) are available to use as base for legacy jobs. Using devstack-temepst in your patch is right things. In addition, you need to mention the tox_envlist as all-plugins to make tempest_test_regex work. I commented on review.

Yeah, You can install that via TEMPEST_PLUGINS var. All plugins specified in TEMPEST_PLUGINS var, will be installed into the tempest venv[1]. You can mention the gabbi-tempest same way.
