At the moment when cleaning up we don't know if a port was autocreated
by Nova or was passed to us initially through the API.
That seems like a very small patch to fix - record the source, use
that info on cleanup.
It isn't a particularly small patch, but it's already been done by Aaron
and been in review for a while now.

And there can be
a long period of time between the initial server creation request and
failure/cleanup - the API layer responds to the client well before the
server has successfully started or failed.
Right.
I think this sort of logic is much better handled above the REST API
layer- which doesn't have to mean duplicated code in multiple clients
It doesn't? So we'll build a stateful client side datastore, and
provide language bindings to it from Python, Ruby, Java, etc?
- it can for example be handled by client libraries such as
python-novaclient or openstackclient and neutron related errors more
directly returned to the client rather than having them proxied
all the way through Nova.
I disagree that the REST API is the place for this to happen. I think a
behind-the-REST-API notification/eventing piece is a better idea.
