So I agree with all of this and think removing the jobs is fine, except the
postgres job and the neutron jobs do test the glance->swift access pattern, and
do run the heat swift tests. But, it does raise the bigger question which was
brought up in Darmstadt and again at summit on having a single gating
configuration. Maybe we should just switch to doing that now and finally drop
the postgres job completely.

I think we probably should be removing this job from everywhere, we've slowly
been whittling away the job because it doesn't seem to be capable of being run
reliably. This also doesn't run any swift resource tests, in it's current form
it runs 6 neutron resource tests and thats it.

So I think we'll need these at a minimum for the time being. Giving our current
project structure (and governance requirements) having jobs that test things
work together I feel is important. I know we've caught issues with glance->swift
layer with these jobs in the past as well as other bugs as well as bugs in swift
before. (although they're very infrequent compared to other projects)
