[...] I also would like to note that 'deprecation' does not mean we stop new releases. neutron-lbaas continued to cut releases even after the deprecation is enabled. IIRC neutron-lbaas was marked as deprecated Jan 2018 around the queens release and it was released till Stein. neutron-fwaas is being marked as deprecated, so I think we still need to release it until neutron-fwaas was retired in the master branch.
If you release it in Ussuri, then nothing needs to get done governance-wise... it's still considered a deliverable from the Neutron team. I'd advise you to consider not releasing it in Victoria though, if we are not comfortable with its state and nobody picks it up between now and the victoria-2 milestone. -- Thierry Carrez (ttx)
