Currently, neutron gate is red for glance_store missing requirement of swift/cinderclients which used to get installed by
test-requirements installation.  
Fixes we are trying:
- https://review.opendev.org/#/c/715835/2
- https://review.opendev.org/#/c/715722/1

Swift functional jobs are also failing on py2 things due to stestr drop py2 support so capping of stestr for py2 is up
- https://review.opendev.org/#/c/715942/

let us know on this thread or on #openstack-qa if any other project failing. 

We are trying to merge those asap and if that fails further or take time we will go with temporary revert of test-requirement drop patch
