Comment 3 for bug 1605742

Please provide a link to your change so we have a better idea of what you are trying to accomplish.

The fix in Newton was put in place as a temporary measure until Paramiko 2.1 comes out. I understand that the issue here is the global requirements in Mitaka mention supporting paramiko>=1.16.0 (https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/stable/mitaka/requirements.txt) which could lead to an issue if 2.0 is the version in use. Because the full patch mentioned above is not actually a long term solution, I don't think that will likely be backported. It's possible support for 2.1 could get backported. Another option might be to put an upper bound on the version of paramiko supported.

I'm going to tag this for mitaka backport potential and gather more information before actually confirming this.

I've also updated the title to be more descriptive.
