Out Of Tree Support
While nova has many entrypoints and other places in the code that allow for wiring in out of tree code. Upstream doesn't actively make any guarantees about these extensibility points; we don't support them, make any guarantees about compatibility, stability, etc.
APIs
Follow the guidelines set in: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/APIChangeGuidelines
The canonical source for API behavior is the code not documentation. Documentation is manually generated after the code by folks looking at the code and writing up what they think it does, and it is very easy to get this wrong.
This policy is in place to prevent us from making backwards incompatible changes to APIs.
