Sean,

If I remember correctly, IBM had put some time into trying to fix the 
nested quota driver back around the Kilo or Liberty release. I haven't 
seen much activity since then.

I am in support deprecating the driver and going to unified limits given 
that that appears to be the general direction of OpenStack.
