Comment 1 John Ferlan 2021-12-10 20:39:23 UTC
How does this differ from existing bug 2022607?  Can we close this as a duplicate of that - being sure to update bug 2031032 with the (older) reference...

Bug 2022607 deals with the compat values -- i.e. making sure that the new upstream compat entries are included in the existing machine types when we move to a newer upstream release.

This bug is supposed to cover introducing the new rhel-8.6.0 machine types. (We could do that in one go, but I thought that would be more confusing.)

QE bot(pre verify): Set 'Verified:Tested,SanityOnly' as gating/tier1 test pass.
