OS::Nova::Server has the scheduler_hints property, so you could always
continue with the current approach in the interim.

Some combination of our new autoscaling and stack convergence should
help here.

Nice, I've just added some comments to
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/55978/ . Feel free to add me as a
reviewer to any others.
