# Keystone Team Update - Week of 29 July 2019
## News
### CI instability
The volume of policy deprecation warnings we generate in our unit tests has gotten to such a critical level that it appears to be causing serious instability in our unit test CI, possibly even affecting the CI infrastructure itself[1]. It's been suggested that we use the warnings module's filtering capabilities to suppress these warnings in the unit test output, but it seems that the sheer number of warnings that need to be suppressed makes the filtering so inefficient that the tests are even more likely to time out. We could do what the warnings actually suggest and override the deprecated policies in the tests, but it seems most of our unit tests aren't even ready to handle the new policies. Investigation is ongoing[2].

### External auth
In this week's meeting we discussed[3] how best to document external auth and agreed it's probably best to deprecate it entirely. We're seeking input from operators on how this may affect them[4].
