Operators,
We did not receive any feedback that dropping Keystone driver versioning would
negatively impact anyone. Thus, the Keystone team met yesterday and decided to
drop support for driver versioning. However, we will continue to support
current legacy drivers.
Moving forward though, what this means is, that if a Keystone driver interface
changes and you have a custom implementation, you would need to upgrade your
custom drivers to meet the new interface in order to upgrade OpenStack. Let us
know if you have any questions.

Subject: Keystone to drop support for driver versioning…
Operators,
Currently in Keystone, we support driver versioning, where we support a driver
interface for at least one version back. However, this has become burdensome
in terms of maintenance and some of us are questioning the value of supporting
this. Thus, we have a proposal in Newton to drop support for driver versioning.
Under the new proposal, if a driver interface changes, we would clearly
document it in the release notes and in order for you to upgrade, you would
need to upgrade your custom drivers to meet the new interface.
That being said, before deciding on this, we are looking for feedback on
whether or not this would significantly impact you.
Regards,
Ron
