Hi all,

This is the last reminder that the classic drivers will be removed from ironic. 
We plan on finish the removal before Rocky-2. See below for the information on 
migration.

If for some reason we need to delay the removal, please speak up NOW. Note that 
I'm personally not inclined to delay it past Rocky, since it requires my time 
and effort to track this process.

Cheers,
Dmitry
