I'm in favor of your change, since the existing behaviour doesn't make

But at some point I guess consistency trumps correctness, and if a new
microversion is necessary to mark the new behaviour then a spec is
required, and at that point we might want to fix the other issues with
multi-boot at the same time.  (Like
https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1458122 )

I think what Sławek is saying is that the quota behavior for multi-create
already changed at some point in the past, without a spec. He did experiments
recently that show a multi-create request succeeds as long as the min_count is
satisfied when there isn't enough quota for max_count. This is different than
the behavior at the time you opened the bug. So it seems the horse has left the
barn on this one.

The bug I reported is not related to quota, but rather the ability to schedule the instances.

The issue in the bug report is that if I ask to boot a min of X and a max of Z instances, and only Y instances can be scheduled (where X<Y<Z) then the request will fail and all the instances will be put into an ERROR state.

Arguably what *should* happen is that Y instances get created. Also I think it would make more sense if the remaining Z-Y instances are just never created rather than being created in an ERROR state.
