Hi Erik,

In general, this might work, however it's not something we test or
"support", so it cannot be guaranteed. Generally there are not too
many changes in how services are deployed from release to release, but
there are times when procedures change, configuration changes, or we
may introduce incompatibilities between the container images and the
Ansible deployment tooling. At runtime, there is also the operation of
services in a mixed environment to consider, although stable
components and APIs help here. All of that is to say that such a
configuration would need testing, and ideally not be in place for a
long period of time.

One similar case we often have is upgrading a single service, often
Magnum, to a newer release than the rest of the cloud. To achieve this
we set the magnum_tag variable.
