The Nova team is currently lacking information about the minimum number
of user_id supporting policy points are needed. Because supporting
user_id everywhere is definitely not going to be an option.

We really need very detailed lists of which actions are required, and
why. And for all server actions why "lock" action is not sufficient. And
we need all of that by N1, which is in a week. With that we can evaluate
what can be added to the API stack. Especially because this all needs
tests so it doesn't regress. So if we can keep it at a small number of
operations, it is way more likely to happen. If this grows to
"everything", it definitely won't.

It would honestly be great if people affected by this could also
prioritize top to bottom what operations are most important. Detailed
use case and priority is really needed to figure out what can be done.
