 *** Suggestion: Add a new hypervisor driver. See [https://github.com/openstack/nova/commit/617ac2f655492d1b84b2d924412ac7063d231110 proof of concept]
 *** What are the requirements to add support? (specification necessary?, testing, maintaining, others?)
-** (sean-k-mooney) neutron removal of linux bridge
-*** TL;DR neutron marked linux bridge experimental a few releases ago but did not formally deprecate it.
-*** 3? weeks ago they deleted it but nova has not deprecated support nor has os-vif
-*** proposal formally deprecate linux bridge and disable testing in both nova and os-vif this cycle and remove linux bridge support next cycle
-*** this will allow 2025.1 nova work with neutron and linux bridge from 2024.2 and older.
-*** sean to propose patches to do the deprecation in os-vif(https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/os-vif/+/941585/8)  and nova (TBD)
-** gmann (I will not be able to attend the meeting due to a time conflict, but most of you know the context and proposal), Spec freeze exception for RBAC service/manager role
-*** https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova-specs/+/937650
-*** Spec has one +2 already and code changes are in progress: https://review.opendev.org/q/topic:%22bp/policy-service-and-manager-role-default%22
