+    If both Designate and Neutron are enabled, Neutron now uses the
+    ``subnet_dns_publish_fixed_ip`` instead of the simpler ``dns``
+    extension in order to support more features in the DNS integration.
+    Override via the ``neutron_extension_drivers`` config option if this
+    is not suitable for your deployment.
