Cloned from launchpad blueprint https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/deprecate-baremetal-driver. Description: The Baremetal driver has been split out into the new Ironic project. A new "ironic" driver will be created which implements the same functionality as the existing "baremetal" driver by calling out to the new Ironic service for the actual work of provisioning bare metal resources.

This was pushed to Juno upstream. The general idea of finishing the baremetal -> ironic transition is popular, and I'm pretty sure the ironic team will work to make it happen in Juno and the nova team will help too. One possible hurdle is the need for external CI from ironic to test nova changes to see that they don't break ironic, but that should be doable. The blueprint is owned by Devananda van der Veen and there are 3 reviews upstream, by Devananda, Chris Krelle, and Lucas Alvares Gomes.
