Lana talked to infra first, specifically Josh Hesketh if my memory serves,
and I hadn't heard there would be any CI impact -- what's the root cause?
Not sure I get why this spec is part of a technical node requirement
change, so please explain more, or Josh please explain more. Then we can
dig in further. Lana's out til the new year and this is my last day for the
year too so let's see what we need to do short term and long term.

Seems especially odd when this should be a low patch volume time so help me
understand the tie-in.

To me, reno is for release notes only, not for doc impact further than
release notes. DocImpact is for any document and for a while the number of
bugs generated in openstack-manuals were too numerous to be meaningfully
triaged.

It's more complex, let's dig in another layer.
