+1.

We rely on this to set the default quotas in our cloud.

Hi Kieran,

Can you elaborate on this point. Do you actually use the full quota-class 
functionality that allows for quota classes, if so what provides the quota 
classes? If you only use this for setting the default quotas, why do you prefer 
the API and not setting the config file?

We just need the defaults. My comment was more to indicate that yes, this is 
being used by people. I'm sure we could switch to using the config file, and 
generally I prefer to keep configuration in code, but finding out about this 
half way through a release cycle isn't ideal.

I notice that only the API has been removed in Icehouse, so I'm assuming the 
impact is limited to *changing* the defaults, which we don't do often. I was 
initially worried that after upgrading to Icehouse we'd be left with either no 
quotas or whatever the config file defaults are, but it looks like this isn't 
the case.

Unfortunately the API removal in Nova was followed by similar changes in 
novaclient and Horizon, so fixing Icehouse at this point is probably going to 
be difficult.

[Day, Phil]  I think we should revert the changes in all three system then.   
We have the rules about not breaking API compatibility in place for a reason, 
if we want to be taken seriously as a stable API then we need to be prepared to 
roll back if we goof-up.

Joe - was there a nova-specs BP for the change ?  I'm wondering how this one 
slipped through


Cheers,
Kieran
