        - StoryBoard: https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/2009766
        - Cannot deliver the full scope in the stx.7.0 timeframe, so this feature will continue in stx.8.0
- Debian Update
    - Expect the CENGN builds to generate Debian ISOs by end of this week - April 22
    - Debian AIO-SX w/ std kernel is stable enough to start running regular sanity

    - Next: Enable the rt kernel. No definitive forecast yet, but should be within 2wks.
        - Note: The rt kernel will be a separate ISO to start. Then it will be combined in the same ISO in the late May time-frame.
