nose was ment to be replaced in all project by stestr many years ago

a quick search shows that of the big project swift and trove are porbly the only ones that still install it 
https://codesearch.opendev.org/?q=nose&i=nope&literal=nope&files=.*requirements.*&excludeFiles=&repos=
looking at swift i also see stestr but they are still using nosetest in there tox.ini
https://opendev.org/openstack/swift/src/branch/master/tox.ini#L20
that shoudl be trivial to swap over for any of the project but would obviouly have to be done and  possibly backported
depenidng on what openstack verions require it.

i also noticed that many of the charms reference it so it might be more impactful for the charm based installer.
