Yes! In fact until we abandon merge.py we shouldn't land anything that
doesn't make the change in both places. Probably more important to make
sure things go into the new (no-mergepy) templates though.

Move as quickly as possible to the new without-mergepy varients? That is
my vote anyways.

Devtest already supports it by simply setting an option (which sets an
ENV variable). Just need to update tripleo-ci to do that and then make
the switch.

None that I know of.
