The plan is to move the Hyper-V specific code to a new Oslo project during the early M cycle and as part of the move the 2008 R2 specific code will be dropped. This refers to the OS specific interaction layer (the *utils modules) which are mostly shared across multiple projects (nova, cinder, networking-hyperv, ceilometer, etc). Contextually the corresponding code will be proposed for removal in Nova, replacing it with the new oslo dependency. The 2008 R2 code will still be available in Liberty, although untested. A deprecation warning can surely be added to the logs.
