I'd also like to propose that this ticket be elevated to a higher priority, because the implication is that OpenStack doesn't have a reliable way to assign a floating ip to an instance - which is essential functionality.

Currently, we've managed to work around this with an admittedly unholy fix (https://github.com/gvlproject/cloudbridge/commit/2f049b8e4555525b5f5c15c0589ee501c3189688#diff-a668445303da4930cbf7f86928ae2c77R731), which is to simply test every available external network as a potential floating ip network by attaching it to a gateway, which is very clunky and slow, but it is generic and cross-openstack compatible.
