I have some small discussion in launchpad: is lack of a quota for
unprivileged user counted as security bug (or at least as a bug)?

If user can create 100500 objects in database via normal API and ops
have no way to restrict this, is it OK for Openstack or not?

That would be a major security bug. Please do file one and we'll get on it immediately.

There is discussion about this. Quote:

Jeremy Stanley (fungi):
Traditionally we've not considered this sort of exploit a security vulnerability. The lack of built-in quota for particular kinds of database entries isn't necessarily a design flaw, but even if it can/should be fixed it's likely not going to get addressed in stable backports, is not something for which we would issue a security advisory, and so doesn't need to be kept under secret embargo. Does anyone else disagree?

If anyone have access to OSSA tracker, please say your opinion in that bug.
