Open Stack

Hello OpenStack community

I'm one of the members of the StarlingX community.  We've had a lot of 
stability issues with our ability to compile both our development branch 
and supported release branches these last few weeks.  It all traces back 
to the Train EOL. We weren't monitoring openstack mailing lists, and 
missed the EOL announcement.  We are actively moving off of Train, but 
aren't yet ready.

What's really causing us grief is that some sub-projects, e.g.heat and 
nova, have started deleting elements of Train, e.g. git branches.

Now please don't take this wrong.  Ending support for an old branch is a 
totally normal thing, and we accept that.  If StarlingX customers need 
support in that area, we'll provide it. However I would plea to you to 
NOT delete the elements of Train that allow other projects to compile 
old openstack releases, e.g. your gits branches.

Sincerely

Scott Little on behalf of StarlingX
