<br>
It definitely doesn't meet our stable maintenance rules. We want<br>
people<br>
to be able to safely upgrade to the latest stable/* when they are<br>
users<br>
of the release. We don't add new features, removing them would be even<br>
worse.<br>

<br>
At the very minimum I would add the "dead-end" comment to the Havana<br>
release notes. If Anne is fine by it, it could also be added to the<br>
stable/havana version of the docs.<br>
<br>
<br>
PowerVM was mostly documented in developer docs in the nova repo. It<br>
also has entries in the Configuration Reference in the nova.conf<br>
options tables from our autodoc process. Those will just stay in the<br>
stable/havana repo, but I'm okay with backporting a note to<br>
stable/havana with a clear message as to the driver's fate. We also<br>
have a mention of PowerVM in stable/grizzly where we could also place<br>
a note. Release notes are a good place for this as well, thanks Russell.<br>

<a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-manuals/+bug/1254780" target="_blank">https://bugs.launchpad.net/<u></u>openstack-manuals/+bug/1254780</a> -- feel free<br>
to add the nova project as well to ensure the docs in the nova repo<br>
are removed.<br>
<br>
I do want to point out that we don't have adequate documentation of<br>
other drivers, like Hyper-V and Xen, just want to make sure you all<br>
know there are gaps and documentation isn't the indicator of<br>
"acceptance" of a hypervisor driver.<br>
Thanks -<br>
