The file nova/api/openstack/__init__.py had imported a lot of modules, notably nova.utils. This means that any code which runs within that package, notably the placement service, imports all those modules, even if it is not going to use them. This results in scripts/binaries that are heavier than they need to be and in some cases including modules, like eventlet, that it would feel safe to not have in the stack. Unfortunately we cannot sinply rename nova/api/openstack/__init__.py to another name because it contains FaultWrapper and FaultWrapper is referred to, by package path, from the paste.ini file and that file is out there in config land, and something we prefer not to change. Therefore alternate methods of cleaning up were explored and this has led to some useful changes: Fault wrapper is the only consumer of walk_class_hierarchy so there is no reason for it it to be in nova.utils. nova.wsgi contains a mismash of WSGI middleware and applications, which need only a small number of imports, and Server classes which are more complex and not required by the WSGI wares. Therefore nova.wsgi was split into nova.wsgi and nova.api.wsgi. The name choices may not be ideal, but they were chosen to limit the cascades of changes that are needed across code and tests. Where utils.utf8 was used it has been replaced with the similar (but not exactly equivalient) method from oslo_utils.encodeutils.

In the unfortunate event that bugs are discovered, they should be reported to the appropriate bug tracker. If you obtained the software from a 3rd party operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker, available at:
