Melanie, the updated nova patch looks pretty good to me and thanks for adding the nova-status check. I was thinking we'd do that after, but it's definitely nice to have it right away. I agree the patch is pretty massive right now, and under normal circumstances I'd split it up of course. However, I imagine some would argue the backporting will be easier and faster as a monolith.
One other thing, I think we should add the service user stuff to the install guide sections as well. I think that's where people likely get started for the bare minimum required config, so I think they'd probably find it weird to have a required chunk of config tucked at the bottom of the admin guide (which is linked from the top under "maintenance"). What do you think?
