Just pointing out that the last successful run of at least one of the
periodic kolla image publish job was at 2019-01-07T06:06:47. If anyone is
using Ocata and wants to maintain this, please get in touch. Otherwise I
guess we'll mark is as unmaintained on 2019-07-07.

It does seem a bit wasteful of CI resources to have 6 months of failing
periodic jobs. Should we disable them on the ocata branch until a volunteer
steps forward?
