Hey Hervé,

Thank you for your reply.

That's correct, ironic-python-agent and ironic-python-agent-builder were
originally part of the same repository.
We decided to split them at some point, and we'd like to keep them
separated, but we realized that it would make sense to keep them synced by
branch.

At my knowledge, ipa-builder is also used by TripleO to generate the ipa
ramdisks.
Current projects can keep using the master branch as usual, it's unlikely
this change will break anything.
In any case, there should be enough time to adapt to the new branched model
during the xena cycle, and I (and the ironic community) will be available
to provide help if needed.
There were no big changes on ipa-builder since the wallaby release, and of
course we will be able to backport any bugfix, so I don't see issues in
cutting the stable branch now.

Thanks,

Riccardo
