[Openstack] A IPv6-Only OpenStack version, when?!

Hi Endre!

I tried it too but, L3 do NAT even without needing it (i.e. when using
public "routable" address for tenant's subnet)... I see that L3 "thinks"
that it always needs to do NAT...

More details, as follows:

Even using real public IPv4 for tenants (trying to avoid Floating IPs and /
or NAT), at the network node, I'm still seeing SNAT rules within the chain
"quantum-l3-agent-float-snat / quantum-l3-agent-float-snat"...

How can I disable it, running my cloud entirely by pure routing (i.e. no
NAT on L3)...? Making/tagging somehow the tenant subnet as public?!

Tks!
Thiago
