I'd like to point out that this means DIB will no longer have an image
booting test for Ubuntu. I have created a review[1] to try and get some
coverage of this in a dib speific test, hopefully we can get it merged
before we remove the tripleo ubuntu tests?

I assume DIB will be keeping the tripleo jobs for now?
