deprecations:
  - |
    The ``deploy-baremetal``, ``deploy-kexec``, ``deploy-tgtadm``,
    and ``deploy-targetcli`` elements are deprecated and will be removed in a
    future release of diskimage-builder. The origins of the elemenets largely
    dates back to the early efforts to support baremetal deployment, and the
    methods have been long ago moved away from.
Deprecate legacy deployment elements Legacy elements deploy-tgtadm, deploy-targetcli, and deploy-baremetal have not seen use in ages. Another element seems to date back to this, deploy-kexec, but appears to see no actual use as the underlying methods leveraged by these elements were long moved away from. iSCSI based deployment being the last, and even then it required the ironic-python-agent.
