Would you try to patch Nova to work on Python 2.6 again, or would you simply delay updating Nova until you have v7 hosts to run on ? Likewise if we were to decide to drop support for libvrt in v6 from Nova, how would you imagine dealing with that ? Would you just re-add the compat code we removed from Nova to make it work with old libvirt again ?
