Public bug reported:

Unfortunately upstream release did not align well with our freeze date
for fence-agents. This package is a dependency ONLY for pacemaker:

$ apt-cache rdepends fence-agents
fence-agents
Reverse Depends:
  pacemaker

and, despite the version bump, and a core code that is very mature, and
does not change much, the development of fence-agents is mostly directed
to development and fixes of old and existing fencing agents.

With that said, the delta is not big:

$ git log v4.5.2..v4.6.0 --no-merges --oneline | wc -l
47

and 1/3 of them are fixes.

In regards to the other 2/3 of the delta, they enable two important
fence agents we have to support sooner than later.

- fence_aws agent being backported to Bionic (LP: #1894323)
- XXXXX (LP: #1889070)

Most commits are towarding:

fence_aws
fence_azure_arm
fence_ibmz
fence_ipmilan
fence_lpar
fence_mpath
fence_openstack
fence_redfish/fence_vmware_soap
fence_scsi
fence_skalar
fence_vbox
fence_virsh
fence_vmware_cloud
fence_vmware_rest
fence_vmware_soap

And fence_aws, fence_azure_arm, fence_mpath and fence_scsi are important
to our HA supportability plans, described at:

supportability/
