+deprecations:
+  - |
+    The ``xclarity`` hardware type, as well as the supporting
+    driver interfaces have been deprecated and are scheduled to be removed
+    from ironic in the Stein development cycle. This is due to the lack of
+    operational Third Party testing to help ensure that the support for
+    Lenovo XClarity is functional.
+
+    The ``xclarity`` hardware type was introduced at the end of the Queens
+    development cycle. During implementation of Third Party CI, the Lenovo
+    team encountered some unforseen delays. Lenovo is continuing to work
+    towards Third Party CI, and upon establishment and verification of
+    functional Third Party CI, this deprecation will be rescinded.
