Hi all!

There is a bug <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ironic/+bug/1565663> in
ironic API that allows to remove node name using any API version,
while node names were added in version 1.5. There are concerns that
fixing this might
be a breaking change, and I'm not sure how to proceed with that.
Here is
a change <https://review.openstack.org/300983> that
fixes the bug by just forbidding to do PATCH remove request on /name
path if requested
API version is less than 1.5. Is it enough to just mention this in a
release note, maybe
both in fixes and upgrade sections? As bumping API microversion to fix
some previous
microversion seems weird to me.

Any suggestions?

I think the approach you've taken -- just fix it and not add a new
microversion -- is the correct approach.

Do we really allow breaking API changes, covering old microversions?

Generally we have said that if a patch is fixing only an error response
code (as would be the case here -- changing from a 202 to a 400 when
name is attempted to be changed) then it doesn't need a microversion.

Sean, am I remembering that correctly?

No, in Nova land a 2xx -> 4xx would use a microversion. These sorts of
things actually break people (we've seen it happen in Tempest / Shade).

Fixing a 5xx does not, as the server is never supposed to 5xx. 5xx is
always a bug.

OK, my apologies Vlad and Dmitry. This is why I defer to Sean :)

Best,
