I would say that supporting millions of compute nodes is not a current priority for nova... We are actively working on improving support for thousands of compute nodes, but that is via cells (so each nova deploy except the top is still in the hundreds of nodes).
I worry about pursuing academic goals such as millions of compute nodes -- as I think it distracts from solving the problems affecting our real world users. Do you have a deployment in mind at this scale?
