The ipminative driver was marked as unsupported on September 28, 2016,
and an email was sent to the list on March 9th, 2017 asking for
volunteers to run third-party CI to save the driver from deprecation.
Additionally, many ironic contributors who also deploy ironic have
reported instability while using this driver. For these reasons it's
being removed from the main ironic tree. If there are any users still
interested in this driver, they are invited to host it elsewhere.

Names are easier to use for humans, so let's allow them.
The actual name -> UUID convertion happens during validation and its
result is cached for each interface instance.
This change will allow recreating a network without changing Ironic
configuration or setting a network name in advance (e.g. by an installer).
Note that when names are used, an administrator is responsible for ensuring
that no other networks have the same name (names are not unique in Neutron).

This change updates the sample values in [keystone_authtoken]

This patch is adding documentation for operators in root device hints:
In which release they are available, what are the supported operators
and few usage examples.
The patch also adds a link to the documentation in the release note.

Currently install guide incorrectly advises operators to configure
access for service users used by ironic-conductor in
[keystone_authtoken] section.
Such way of configuration was deprecated in Newton release, and using it
will result in a warning log message.
This patch changes the advised way of configuring service users to an
appropriate one using config sections corresponding to each service client
to be used, as well as proper options for keystoneauth plugins and
sessions instead of legacy options.

v3 compliant.

Ironic is flexible for x86/x86_64 servers by supporting BIOS and UEFI.
But to deploy servers of other architectures, such as aarch64 or ppc64,
configuration(PXE boot file and config template) must be modified,
which means one Ironic conductor can only deploy baremetal machines of
one architecture.
This patch adds multi arch deployment support. For example, to deploy
x86_64 and aarch64 servers by one Ironic conductor.

For Ironic standalone mode, the install guide incorrectly documents
the value to be set for `auth_strategy` config option as 'none',
when in fact it is `noauth` (even in Kilo release when this was
introduced).

This installs the basic directories and content pointing to the current
Ironic Installation Guide. Simply having this in our repo will not lead
to it being published, this is only the first step. Having these items
in our repository is a good first step to building out our install
guide.
