Aiming toward tests that mirror real-world deployment is certainly a good thing, but I don't think we should remove ConfKeyManager. We will want to maintain the ability to test these Cinder/Nova code paths in development environments or in some automated environments without requiring additional services to be configured. We can address this by having ConfKeyManager emit warning messages indicating that it isn't for production environments.
