As discussed in the mailing list [1] since cells v1 has been deprecated since Pike and the biggest user of it (CERN as far as we know) moved to cells v2 in Queens, we can start rolling back the cells v1 specific documentation to avoid confusing people new to nova about what cells is and making them understand there was an optional v1. There are still a few mentions of cells v1 left in here for things like adding a new cell which need to be re-written and for that I've left a todo. Users can still get at cells v1 specific docs from published stable branches and/or rebuilding the docs from before this change.

If you obtained the software from a 3rd party operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker, available at:
