Maru, I'm very concerned about the potential of this XenServer/XCP requirement to interfere with making the various Quantum agents first-class OpenStack services by utilizing current and future openstack-common facilities for configuration, logging, DB, RPC, etc.. Are there any other possible ways forward here? How is the nova compute service currently handled for XenServer? Could a fully supported version of python be parallel-installed on dom0? Could the actual quantum agent run somewhere else and remotely execute commands on dom0? Or does the python 2.4 compatibility requirement need to be applied to openstack-common?
