 ----------
 
 Starting during the Liberty release development cycle work began on enabling
 Tempest to run under both Python 2.7 and Python 3.4. Tempest strives to fully
-support running with Python 3.4. A gating unit test job was added to also run
-Tempest's unit tests under Python 3.4. This means that the Tempest code at
-least imports under Python 3.4 and things that have unit test coverage will
-work on Python 3.4. However, because large parts of Tempest are self-verifying
-there might be uncaught issues running on Python 3.4. So until there is a gating
-job which does a full Tempest run using Python 3.4 there isn't any guarantee
-that running Tempest under Python 3.4 is bug free.

+    now deprecated. This option will be removed from tempest when all the
+    OpenStack releases supported by tempest no longer support the API extensions
+    mechanism. This was removed from Nova during the Newton cycle, so this will
