This is basically enforced in code in grenade, the language for this
actually got lost in the project requirements discussion in the TC, I'll
bring that back in the post graduation requirements discussion we're
having again.

The issue is - Heat still doesn't materially participate in grenade.
Heat is substantially far behind the other integrated projects in it's
integration with the upstream testing. Only monday did we finally start
gating on a real unit of work for Heat (the heat-slow jobs). If I was
letter grading projects right now on upstream testing I'd give Nova an
A, Neutron a C (still no full run, no working grenade), and Heat a D.

So in short. Heat did the wrong thing. You should be able to use your
configs from the last release. This is what all the mature projects in
OpenStack do. In the event that you *have* to make a change like that it
requires an UpgradeImpact tag in the commit. And those should be limited
really aggressively. This is the whole point of the deprecation cycle.
