We are trying to restructure the documentation to be less OpenStack specific and are moving content into other locations as necessary (all of the zuulv3 migration content is basically openstack or zuul specific). In this specific case much of the content is covered by Zuul's documentation (how to write jobs, job inheritance, secrets, etc). At the time this documentation was written a lot of this was still coming together on the Zuul side, but now that shouldn't be the case.

If there are bits not covered by the Zuul docs that should be we can fix that. We might also need to add some openstack specific bits into the openstack contributor guide.

I'd also be worried that the doc itself is quite stale as it has been a couple years. In particular I think the document lacks a lot of info on where the devstack jobs have evolved to.
