Yes, we do that: http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack-infra/devstack-gate/tree/devstack-vm-gate.sh#n139 and http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack-infra/devstack-gate/tree/devstack-vm-gate-wrap.sh#n170 it can be overridden, but I don't think that any of the job definitions do that. -Matt Treinish
