Maintainer(s), Thank you for cleanup!

No GLSA needed as there are no stable versions.

CVE-2014-2573 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2014-2573):
  The VMWare driver in OpenStack Compute (Nova) 2013.2 through 2013.2.2 does
  not properly put VMs into RESCUE status, which allows remote authenticated
  users to bypass the quota limit and cause a denial of service (resource
  consumption) by requesting the VM be put into rescue and then deleting the
  image.
