Devstack DEPR FYI

 @Kyle McCormick

I’m proposing that Devstack will be marked deprecated in Olive, and removed before Poplar. Details: https://github.com/openedx/devstack/issues/907 . This is pending Tutor reaching feature parity with Devstack.

  • By Olive, we should plan to have Tutor ready to be a “recommended” dev environment. We could even shoot to do this by Nutmeg.

  • how will the support for tutor as a replacement for devstack to the developer community work.
