Comment 29 for bug 1697610

Hi James,
thanks for your work on this.
I agree that the backport to 2.5 will likely be too complex.

For 3.5 I didn't see more dependencies in the code, but might find some when trying to do so.
I'm currently considering to move to libvirt 3.6 instead if that is working smoothly as I have a few other things that would need that as well. But for now I need to move up qemu before going back to libvirt.

Do I understand correctly that with the nova fix that uses the old console generation works for now (but lacks the early messages) and once/if a fixed libvirt is in artful we can consider dropping the change from nova again?.
