Cool.  Will Openstack work with SQLAlchemy0.7?  I ask because I'm always
looking for ways to reduce work and if we can use the latest SQLAlchemy that
will mean we don't have to maintain both python-sqlalchemy0.6 and
python-sqlalchemy0.7 packages down the road.

About unittests, we probably want to either disable just the specific
unittests or add a compat package with the newer versions of nose.  RHEL6
seems to include 0.10.4 and the current version is 1.1.2.  I can see the
newer version being useful to people doing work with it (although they'll
need to modify their behaviour slightly; using /usr/bin/nosetests-1.1, for
instance.)  Not sure if running nosetests-1.1 will be sufficient to use the
correct nose module or if we'd have to also set PYTHONPATH to point at the
correct version of nose explicitly.  Worth a try at least.
