I don't know if this has been done in the past, but it seems like there
should be a bit of a lead-time for openstack-dev and openstack-operators
to know they need to start working on Xenial. Doing it in the middle of
a dev cycle seems like it would explode the install guide at a pretty
critical moment, vs. just making sure everyone knows it will be done on
day 1 of Ocata, and then allowing summit plans to be made for doc updates,
etc. etc.
