The patch itself doesn't actually propose a rapid removal. Its marked
as being "removed in a future release". The reality is that this code
has been largely abandoned for a long time... We're just trying to be
more honest with signalling that to users. So I think we're on the
same page here.

What happens when CERN upgrades to a modern boto and auth doesn't
work? That's been known for at least a week or two and no one has
stepped up to fix it.

I think validating, packaging and deploying to a reasonable number of clouds and reviewing it with the operators is a viable target for Kilo. This can then be reviewed in one of the joint developer/operator sessions for feasibility.

Right. That's a thing we need operators to do for us. That's why the
original email was cc'ed to the operators list. Marking the feature as
deprecated is our way of asking operators to actually test the
alternative and start reporting bugs for the problems they find.
