Greetings Ironicers and Operators,

During the ironic upstream meeting held on 09 March 2020, we decided to move stable/ocata and stable/pike to unmaintained [1].  
Apologies for sending this email almost 3 weeks after the decision was made. 
We have documented what unmaintained means in our contributor docs [2]. 

Feel free to rise any questions here or in the irc channel (#openstack-ironic)
