My instinctive reaction is that you are correct.

However, nova is complicated software and I feel strongly that
operators should be testing in a lab environment before deploying.
Upgrading nova is much like changing the os version on your core
network routers or some other mission critical software. It should
always be tested in your environment before deploy.
