Currently, we silently fall back to ironic-inspector managing boot if the boot interface cannot do it. What ironic-inspector does is set the boot device to PXE and issue a reboot request. This was done to keep backward compatibility with how inspection worked before managed boot was introduced. With in-band inspection migrating to Ironic proper, this "unmanaged" mode becomes a more exotic case since it requires additional PXE infrastructure. Additionally, the popularity of Redfish is rapidly growing, and we support pre-populating ports when Redfish is used. As such, the "unmanaged" mode should no longer be allowed by default. This change prepares for the future flip of the default value by issuing a deprecation warning if no explicit value is set for the option.

Overview
Ironic consists of an API and plug-ins for managing and provisioning physical machines in a security-aware and fault-tolerant manner. It can be used with nova as a hypervisor driver, or standalone service using bifrost. By default, it will use PXE and IPMI to interact with bare metal machines. Ironic also supports vendor-specific plug-ins which may implement additional functionality.
