After three months since the quality warning change merged [1] there has still been no progress in finding a maintainer for the xenapi driver or someone to get the third party CI running again - which has been off/broken for more than a release. This change formally deprecates the driver, logging a warning on startup along with providing a release note and warnings in the docs and [xenserver] config group help. Note that this does not mean the driver will absolutely be removed in the Ussuri release, but it leaves the option open to do so if the nova team decides that should happen. This was discussed at the 2019-09-05 nova meeting [2] and also at the Train PTG.

If you obtained the software from a 3rd party operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker, available at:
