+    This release is to tag the Tempest for OpenStack Stein release.
+    This release marks the start of Stein release support in Tempest and
+    the end of support for Ocata in Tempest.
+    After this release, Tempest will support below OpenStack Releases:
+
+      * Stein
+      * Rocky
+      * Queens
+      * Pike
+
+    Current development of Tempest is for OpenStack Train development
+    cycle. Every Tempest commit is also tested against master during
+    the Train cycle. However, this does not necessarily mean that using
+    Tempest as of this tag will work against a Train (or future release)
+    cloud.
+    To be on safe side, use this tag to test the OpenStack Stein release.
