+    This release marks the start of support for the Pike release in Patrole.
+other:
+    - OpenStack Releases supported after this release are **Pike**.
+
+      The release under current development of this tag is Queens, meaning
+      that every Patrole commit is also tested against master during the Queens
+      cycle. However, this does not necessarily mean that using Patrole as of
+      this tag will work against a Queens (or future release) cloud.
