Open Stack

Hello everyone,

Here is an email to officialize our position on Olso concerning our
lower-constraints testing policy.
Indeed we reached a consensus during our last meeting and all the Oslo
cores who spoke agreed with this decision to drop the L.C tests [1].

So we already started to drop lower-constraints jobs on Oslo to unlock our
gates.

Thanks to everyone who joined the discussion and thanks for reading!
