2014.1.4 Nova introduces new dependency for oslo.utils in stable/icehouse

[Corey Bryant]

In the latest release of 2014.1.4 nova, commit 4b46a86f8a2af096e399df8518f8269f825684e0 introduces a new dependency for oslo.utils in nova/compute/api.py.

I think it's policy to not allow new dependencies in stable releases so this may have slipped by.

oslo.utils is indeed not in Icehouse Nova requirements.txt but it is in Icehouse global-requirements:
https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/requirements/tree/global-requirements.txt?h=stable/icehouse#n53

BTW we have the same situation with oslo.utils in Nova stable/juno branch: not in requirements.txt but used in this backport and few more places, commits 33e0813b and 1e4088f4 included in 2014.2.2

That mean gate jobs are not enforcing project's requirements.txt ?
