The only in-tree implementation of the nova.image.download.modules extension point was nova.image.download.file which was removed in Pike: I7687cc89545a7a8b295dd6535b4ccebc913a2e0e At the time of that removal, there was an operators ML thread asking if anyone was using this code, or the extension point, and the answer was no (or no answer at all). Since we have no in-tree implementation of this extension point and the extension point itself is not maintained or documented, and even the TransferBase base class was removed in Pike, we should deprecate the extension point and the configuration option associated with its use so that we can simplify our internal glance API client code. Note that the libvirt Rbd image backend which does support direct_url / image locations configuration for fast clones is still supported and unrelated to this code.

OpenStack Nova
==============
OpenStack Nova provides a cloud computing fabric controller, supporting a wide
variety of compute technologies, including: libvirt (KVM, Xen, LXC and more),
Hyper-V, VMware, XenServer, OpenStack Ironic and PowerVM.
Use the following resources to learn more.
API
---
To learn how to use Nova's API, consult the documentation available online at:
- `Compute API Guide <https://developer.openstack.org/api-guide/compute/>`__
- `Compute API Reference <https://developer.openstack.org/api-ref/compute/>`__
For more information on OpenStack APIs, SDKs and CLIs in general, refer to:
- `OpenStack for App Developers <https://www.openstack.org/appdev/>`__
- `Development resources for OpenStack clouds
<https://developer.openstack.org/>`__
Operators
---------
To learn how to deploy and configure OpenStack Nova, consult the documentation
available online at:
- `OpenStack Nova <https://docs.openstack.org/nova/>`__
In the unfortunate event that bugs are discovered, they should be reported to
the appropriate bug tracker. If you obtained the software from a 3rd party
operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for
reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker,
available at:
- `Bug Tracker <https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova>`__
Developers
----------
For information on how to contribute to Nova, please see the contents of the
CONTRIBUTING.rst.
Any new code must follow the development guidelines detailed in the HACKING.rst
file, and pass all unit tests.
Further developer focused documentation is available at:
- `Official Nova Documentation <https://docs.openstack.org/nova/>`__
- `Official Client Documentation
<https://docs.openstack.org/python-novaclient/>`__
Other Information
-----------------
During each `Summit`_ and `Project Team Gathering`_, we agree on what the whole
community wants to focus on for the upcoming release. The plans for nova can
