+features:
+  - It is now possible to deploy with tripleo-heat-templates using servers that
+    are already provisioned with an operating system, and not necessarily
+    provisioned with Nova and Ironic. This feature is enabled by making use of
+    the environments/deployed-server-environment.yaml environment file. For
+    more information, see
+    http://docs.openstack.org/developer/tripleo-docs/advanced_deployment/deployed_server.html
