+:problem: Deprecate location strategy
+
+:solution: In Bobcat we added support for weighing mechanism to glance store.
+           To use this new feature we decided to deprecate location strategy
+           in this cycle and remove it in 'D' (2024.2) development cycle.
+
+:impacts: None
+
+:how: In this cycle we are going to deprecate following configuration
+      options related to location strategy:
+      * location_strategy
+      * store_type_preference
+      Also a warning message regarding deprecation will be added to
+      `location_order` and `store_type` strategy module during initiation
+      phase.
