So, there's definitely an issue though with the nova instance being undeletable - that prevents the user freeing up quota space. I accept that the node power driver failure wasn't user initiated, but I worry about e.g. that happening to a deployed instance. Seems like transient failures shouldn't make nodes inoperable // trigger admin intervention.

e.g. I think I'm saying there is a design bug IMO - maintenance mode is an admin tool; 'Ironic cannot talk to a BMC' is a transient state internal to Ironic and not at all the same as maintenance mode.
