 deprecations:
   - |
-    The config options ``CONF.compute.spice_console`` and ``CONF.compute.rdp_console``
-    are deprecated because test cases using them are removed.
-    We can add them back when adding the test cases again.

+  - |
+    The config option ``CONF.compute.spice_console`` was previously listed as
+    deprecated, but is now back in active use to support the testing of SPICE consoles
+    in Nova.
