Syslinux is a functionally abandoned Legacy BIOS boot mode bootloader which has not seen updates since 2019, and is starting to see discussion amongst linux distributions to remove explicit support and packaging for Syslinux. Syslinux's relevance is also disappearing as UEFI booting is becoming the standard. While syslinux did go ahead and ensure their bootloader *could* be built and support UEFI, distributions also didn't uniformly adopt packaging and support for this bootloader. This change proposes to deprecate it and notates the areas in which functionality is deprecated. Change-Id: Ic52007fa4f207561d282eb5ae54273885c0ab0c0

Overview
Ironic consists of an API and plug-ins for managing and provisioning physical machines in a security-aware and fault-tolerant manner. It can be used with nova as a hypervisor driver, or standalone service using bifrost. By default, it will use PXE and IPMI to interact with bare metal machines. Ironic also supports vendor-specific plug-ins which may implement additional functionality.
