Great list. For quantum/common/test_lib.py, I've been working with Jason Kölker to get nova to be able to use nose directly without run_tests.py. To that end, he's written openstack-nose. I'd love it if we could get quantum to use that as well instead of test_lib.py.
(ultimate goal is that we run tests by running "tox" ... and in the tox config it simply has "nosetests" as the command to run- with any additional features we need from nose done as plugins.) That being said - someone suggested the other day that perhaps openstack-nose should be merged in to openstack-common, so that depending on/installing openstack-common gets you the nose plugin as well. Jason - thoughts from you?
