Comment 4 for bug 922067

I think the current behavior isn't that bad. Every other service connects to the message broker on startup because that's when it needs it. nova-api will connect only when needed, since not all requests require it. Nova is going to be completely busted if it's not up, so it's pretty hard to miss and should be monitored for anyway.

It's been over a year since this was filed, so I'm going to move into the older queue of requests (Opinion / Wishlist) in case someone would like to pick it up later.
