Excellent news.

I agree we need to move promotion job to stable/ocata until TripleO
release and then come back to master.
I'm wondering if it would be useful to create a new periodic job that
would run TripleO on master.
Tell me if I'm wrong, but the reason is during our trailing period,
things can (and probably will) break upstream and we might want to
keep aware of it. If we're not, I'm afraid we'll have to deal with a
huge list of blocker after our release when we'll come back on master.
