is there any reason why you can't use nova stop / nova start to poweroff and poweron instances?

Just Curious...

I'm testing against a XCP backed essex environment...

nova stop -> nova start rebuilds the instance (i.e. floating ips are unassigned, password is reset, disk state is lost)

From what I am seeing in the reason this bug was marked as a non-issue, this should not be the expected behavior.
