First, thanks to Kevin and Alex for finding this issue and explaining it in detail so we can understand the scope. This is a nasty unfortunate issue which I really wish we could just fix without a microversion bump but we have microversions for a reason, which is to fix issues in the API. In thinking about if this were the legacy 2.0 API, we always had a rule that you couldn't fix bugs in the API if they changed the behavior, no matter how annoying. So let's fix this with a microversion. I don't think we need to hold it to the feature freeze deadline as it's a microversion only for a bug fix, it's not a new feature. So that's a compromise at least and gives us some time to get this done correctly and still have it fixed in Ocata. We'll also want to document this in the api-ref and REST API version history in whatever way makes it clear about the limitations between microversions. As for testing, I think using a mix of test inheritance and using 2.latest is probably a good step to take. I know we've had a mix of that in different places in the functional API samples tests, but there was never a clear rule about what do to with testing microversions and if you should use inheritance to build on existing tests.
One other thing: we're going to need to also fix this in python-novaclient, which we might want to do first, or work concurrently, since that's going to give us the client side perspective on how gross it will be to deal with this issue.
