Can you clarify if the feature is being deprecated – as in still usable but not recommended with a warning, or dropped, as-in, won’t work at all? You mention both in the first two sentences.

Support for deploying under eventlet will be dropped as of the “M”-release of OpenStack. The reasoning behind this move is multifaceted but the core of the reasons are as follows: * Keystone relies on apache/web-server modules to handle federated identity (validation of SAML, etc) and similar SSO type authentication (Kerberos). * Eventlet has proven problematic when it comes to workloads within Keystone, notably that a number of actions cannot yield (either due to lacking in Eventlet, or that the dependent library uses C-bindings that eventlet is not able to work with). * Keystone has recommended (for multiple cycles) deploying Keystone under apache instead of eventlet. In the gate we primarily test all new development under Apache/mod_wsgi deployments. * Most deployers I’ve discussed keystone deployment with are either already on httpd+mod_wsgi or looking to move that direction (for support of features such as federated auth). The review to finalize the deprecation is: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/157495/ (Please only provide comments on deprecation, verbiage can be modified separately from the actual act of deprecation). Please comment on the review or in reply to this Email.
