Bug Description

As the only thing a user can do once an instance enters the "deleting" state (which is does in the API) is to request to delete it again it should be excluded from quota calculations.

The issus here is if a compute node is down (which may be why the user is doing the delete) the delete itslef may take soem time to process. This is generally the service providers problem not the users, and so they should be allowed to start a replacement VM.

Suggest that this behaviour is controlled by a flag so that it can be configured either way.

I want to withdraw this as a bug - i tlooks like the quota refactoring has addressed this already.
