I agree the stable policy doesn't map very well to deployment projects
and that's something I'd like to address.  I admit I'm not certain *how*
to address it but it almost certainly starts with a discussion like this
;P

I've proposed a forum session to further this discussion, even if that
doesn't happen there's always the hall-way track :)

Rather than give up on the stable:follows policy tag it is possibly
worth looking at which portions of tripleo make that assertion.

In this specific case, there isn't anything in the bug that indicates
it comes from a user report which is all the stable team has to go on
when making these types of decisions.

Yours Tony.
