A lot of OpenStack deliverables start their existence as cycle-independent, as it is what our docs still recommend for initial releases. Most of them quickly turn into cycle-following deliverables, however their early lives as independent deliverables produce a confusing trail at [1]. This page seems to imply (for example) that Cyborg is a cycle-independent deliverable and that its most recent version is 0.2.0. This can be very confusing, and displaying long-forgotten early releases on releases.o.o is not worth it. Note: cycle-following deliverables that become independent actually do not generate the same confusion. They stop being listed on the coordinated release pages and their listing on [1] is accurate. It's the independent deliverables that become tied to the cycle that result in confusing information. This change removes deliverable files for deliverables that had a couple of independent releases at the start of their lives but are now following the release cycle. Those releases can still be found on tarballs.o.o and their tags still exist in their history. We just stop displaying them on releases.o.o. This allows the "Series-Independent Projects" page[1] to only display deliverables that actually *are* released in a cycle-independent manner.

OpenStack Releases
This repository is used to drive release automation for OpenStack release deliverables, ultimately publishing them on the https://releases.openstack.org/ website.
Changes to this repository are proposed using Gerrit at https://review.opendev.org. This repository is managed by the OpenStack Release Management team.
For more information on how to use this repository, please read our reference documentation.
Who should use this repository
All official OpenStack software should go through the OpenStack Release Management team team to produce releases. Exceptions to this rule are granted by the Technical Committee and documented in the openstack/governance repository ('release-management' key in reference/projects.yaml).
Deliverables managed by teams not under OpenStack governance should follow the tagging instructions in the infra manual.
