cruft builds up in 'nova service-list' as compute nodes are added and removed

[Robert Collins]

This is our current service-list:

note that the hosts in state down will never be coming back - we've rotated them out. There doesn't seem to be a way to gc this except by fiddling by hand. If there is, perhaps this is just a doc bug.

Please note the bp https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/remove-nova-compute has been implemented.

This bug was reported against an old version of TripleO, and may no longer be valid.

Since it was reported before the start of the liberty cycle (and our oldest stable
branch is stable/liberty), I'm marking this incomplete.

Please reopen this (change the status from incomplete) if the bug is still valid
on a current supported (stable/liberty, stable/mitaka or trunk) version of TripleO,
thanks!

This bug is > 365 days without activity. We are unsetting assignee and milestone and setting status to Incomplete in order to allow its expiry in 60 days.

If the bug is still valid, then update the bug status.

[Steven Hardy (shardy)]

The tripleo part of this should have expired ref comment #4 so removing tripleo from the bug
