Show me a real example of a test case that would have that many levels 
of nesting. I presume you are talking about the PoC code I put together 
that uses context managers to switch between users? If so, it's 
*switching* between users, not nested user actions. Therefore you would 
never have more than one level of nesting.

So, even if you had three different user contexts active in a single 
test case, you would still only see a single level of context manager:

def test_some_interaction(self):
   with self.do_as('net_admin') as client:
     self.assertSomething...
   with self.do_as('system_admin') as client:
     self.assertSomething...
   with self.do_as('keystone_admin') as client:
     self.assertSomething...

Best,
