Since it's deprecated since Queens[0], yes? I think it is time to stop
continuing this method of installation.  Given that I'm not even sure
the upgrade process even works anymore with baremetal, I don't think
there's a reason to keep it as it directly impacts the time it takes
to perform deployments and also contributes to increased complexity
all around.

I'd rather we officially get rid of the one of the two methods and
converge on a single method without increasing the complexity via
jinja to continue to support both. If there's an improvement to be had
after we've converged on a single structure for including the base
bits, maybe we could do that then?
