Description Michal Skrivanek 2018-12-04 12:46:39 UTC 
Cirrus is deprecated since 4.0 and VGA is the new default. In 4.3 we're dropping 3.6 compatibility and so we can remove Cirrus completely

Comment 2 Michal Skrivanek 2018-12-05 07:58:03 UTC 
"almost completely", as it was left as allowed in 4.0-4.2. So just changing the defaults

Please tech review the updated Doc Text.

> Cirrus graphics option visible in Instance Type

note it doesn't let you create VMs with Cirrus anyway, so it's just a cosmetic issue. Anyway, 2 more patches to get in...
Comment 7 Michal Skrivanek 2019-02-22 11:33:07 UTC 
oh, and Instance Types are not version specific, so technically it should be still there
