We have a nova spec [1] which is at the point that it needs some API user (and operator) feedback on what nova API should be doing when listing servers and there are down cells (unable to reach the cell DB or it times out).

tl;dr: the spec proposes to return "shell" instances which have the server uuid and created_at fields set, and maybe some other fields we can set, but otherwise a bunch of fields in the server response would be set to UNKNOWN sentinel values. This would be unversioned, and therefore could wreak havoc on existing client side code that expects fields like 'config_drive' and 'updated' to be of a certain format.

There are alternatives listed in the spec so please read this over and provide feedback since this is a pretty major UX change.

Oh, and no pressure, but today is the spec freeze deadline for Rocky.
