Thanks for the comment Steve. I've added some details to the SRU
[Discussion] section regarding expected behavior for new and existing
installs.

Thanks,
Corey


** Description changed:

  [Description]
  The neutron-fwaas project is retired and there are no updates beyond 16.0.0. The neutron-api charm still enables it by default, and the package still installs it as a dependency, and it is currently broken so we should remove it from >= V and add an optional to disable it for earlier releases.
  
  [Test Case]
  The following SRU process was followed:
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OpenStack/StableReleaseUpdates
  
  In order to avoid regression of existing consumers, the OpenStack team
  will run their continuous integration test against the packages that are
  in -proposed. A successful run of all available tests will be required
  before the proposed packages can be let into -updates.
  
  The OpenStack team will be in charge of attaching the output summary of
  the executed tests. The OpenStack team members will not mark
  ‘verification-done’ until this has happened.
  
  [Regression Potential]
  In order to mitigate the regression potential, the results of the
  aforementioned tests are attached to this bug.
  
  [Discussion]
+ For new deploys, binary package installs of neutron-l3-agent will no longer install the python3-neutron-fwaas dependency. The fwaas plugin isn't enabled by default. If a user wants to enable the fwaas plugin, they will still be able to, they will just need to manually install the python3-neutron-fwaas package
+ 
+ Existing deployments that upgrade to the new package will continue to

+ fwaas package will still be installed. Apt, however, will list the fwaas
+ packages as being no longer required.
