During the Zed PTG it was decided to handle unsupported features in Neutron as experimental. See section titled "When we say something is not supported?", day 2 in [1]. The agreement was: "We keep existing jobs for linuxbridge driver for example, but when the tests start to fail we skip them and finally we stop the job also. To make it clear for operators we add warning logs highlighting that the given feature/driver is experimental, and introduce cfg option to enable such features explicitly." This commit implements this agreement, initially with Linuxbridge Depends-On: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/neutron-tempest-plugin/+/845646 [1] https://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2022-April/028164.html Change-Id: Ib18efa3f472736b58c8967847b1061da0e3897d7

Some Neutron features are not supported because the community doesn't have
|
|
the resources and/or technical expertise to maintain them anymore. As they
|
|
arise, the Neutron team designates these features as experimental. Deployers
|
|
can continue using these features at their own risk, by explicitly enabling
|
|
them in the ``experimental`` section of ``neutron.conf``.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
Of course, the Neutron core team would love to return experimetal features
|
|
to the supported status, if interested parties step up to maintain them. If
|
|
you are interested in maintaining any of the experimental features listed
|
|
below, please contact the PTL shown in the
|
|
`Neutron project page
|
|
<https://governance.openstack.org/tc/reference/projects/neutron.html>`_.

The following table shows the Neutron features currently designated as

experimetal:

This is an example of how to enable the use of an experimental feature:

linuxbridge = true
