I agree, and this is part of why I prefer #2 over #1. For someone
dealing with a deleted nova compute service, placement shouldn't be
something they need to be all that concerned with. Nova should be
mediating the interactions with placement to correct the model of
reality that it is storing there. That's what option 2 is doing:
fixing the model, from nova.

(Obviously this is an idealisation that we've not achieved, which
is I why I used that horrible word "should", but I do think it is
something we should be striving towards.)
