Right. We do need to be more responsive. The main reason we took our time was 
that these tests are used for the ceph nightly qa tests, and any changes in 
these that exposes new incompatibility will fail these. We'd rather first have 
the issue fixed, then merge the change. An alternative way to doing it is to 
open a ceph tracker issue about the incompatibility, mark the test as 
'fails_on_rgw', in which case we could merge it immediately.

I have started some work to have a much cleaner way to identify documented API 
vs actual tests (making it clear where new tests should go) and to be able
to have leaner tests (vs. the current approach that stacks decorators).

This will also mean that we would move away from using the current test runner 
as it doesn't allow for such abstractions (in favor of py.test).

It will take some time to accomplish this, however we do still think that new 
tests and fixes should still be submitted while the new implementation is being 
worked on.

Not sure what's the appropriate way to attack this one. Maybe the create_bucket 
function could keep a list of created buckets and then remove them if 
encountering this error using lru.

We'd be happy with more tests, and with more features tested even if these 
weren't implemented yet. It can later help with the development of these 
features. E.g., I looked a few weeks back at v4 signatures, and having such a 
test would have helped. The only thing we need though would be a way to easily 
disable such tests. So adding 'fails_on_rgw', or some other way to detect would 
help a lot.

Thanks,
Yehuda
