Hi everyone,

I wanted to communicate to the community that the Keystone development team has 
determined that keystonemiddleware package should no longer be released in the 
same manner as the client libraries. Instead we will be releasing 
keystonemiddleware in the same manner as Keystone, in the coordinated style.

There are a number of reasons but the largest factor is coordinating the 
requirements. Since keystonemiddleware runs in the process space / interpreter 
for the services (e.g. Nova) there is no expectation that the version of 
keystonemiddleware from Juno will run in Liberty nova (or vice versa). 

With this in mind we will be updating all of the testing and gating to make 
keystonemiddleware conform in the same manner as the services that utilize it. 
This change will start with the Liberty release cycle. Kilo and previous 
releases of OpenStack will continue to rely on the 1.x.x semver releases that 
mirror the stable/xxx branches of keystonemiddleware.

Version numbers and other choices related to this change will be discussed with 
the Release Management team and updated during the Liberty cycle. This will not 
impact or change our support plans for the kilo or Juno releases / associated 
versions of keystonemiddleware. (Full support and maintenance is planned for 
the lifespan of Juno and Kilo releases).[1]

Please feel free to respond in this thread or speak with us on IRC if you have 
questions of concerns about this change. 

Cheers,
Morgan
