We certainly should. We need to be much more careful than we've been
in the past about defining these interfaces and be mindful when we
change them. If we don't, upgrading a Nova deployment is going to be
very painful.

We should go through these API's, review them, document them and write
tests (of they don't exist already) that validate that the
documentation is accurate. That way we'll have a much better chance of
knowing when something breaks backwards or forwards compatibility.
