I understand the desire to create a branch to protect the work that has
been done previously.
The interesting thing is that you guys are proposing to use a branched
ansible role with
a branchless upstream project.  I want to make sure we have enough review
so that we don't hit issues
in the future.   Maybe that is OK, but I have at least one concern.

My conern is about gating the tripleo-upgrade role and it's branches.  When
tripleo-quickstart is changed
which is branchless we will be have to kick off a job for each
tripleo-upgrade branch?  That immediately doubles
the load on gates.

It's extemely important to properly gate this role against the versions of
TripleO and OSP.  I see very limited
check jobs and gate jobs on tripleo-upgrades atm.  I have only found [1].
 I think we need to see some external and internal
jobs checking and gating this role with comments posted to changes.
