Hi Folks, I think it's time to declare CentOS bootstrap image retirement. Since Fuel 8.0 we've switched to Ubuntu bootstrap image usage [1, 2] and CentOS one became deprecated, so in Fuel 9.0 we can freely remove it [2]. For now we are building CentOS bootstrap image together with ISO and then package it into rpm [3], so by removing fuel-bootstrap-image [3] we: * simplify patching/update story, since we don't need to rebuild/deliver this package on changes in dependent packages [4]. * speed-up ISO build process, since building centos bootstrap image takes ~ 20% of build-iso time. We've prepared related blueprint for this change [5] and spec [6]. We also have some draft patchsets [7] which passed BVT tests. So the next steps are: * get feedback by reviewing the spec/patches; * remove related code from the rest fuel projects (fuel-menu, fuel-devops, fuel-qa).
