Go go go !!! :)

Dito. Rootwrap is painfully slow (because it takes too long to spawn a
python process...).

What about an "openstack purge <project-name>" that would call all
projects? We once had a "/purge" goal, I'm not sure how far it went...
What I know, is that purging all resources of a project is currently
still a big painpoint.

I'm still available to attempt the /healthcheck thingy, I kind of
succeed in all major project but ... nova. Unfortunately, it was decided
in the project that we should put this on hold until the /healthcheck
can implement more check than just to know if the API is alive. 5 months
forward, I believe my original patch [1] should have been approved first
as a first approach. Nova team: any reaction? Any progress on your
super-nice-health-check? Can this be implemented elsewhere using what
you've done? Maybe that work should go in oslo.middleware too?

The /healthcheck is super-easy to implement for any project using
oslo.middleware, so please select that one (and others). It's also
mostly done...
