<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> We are deprecating legacy REST test codes and to discontinue tools used in OpenBMC test this year end. We will branch out as a checkpoint if any users still want to use it in their environment.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> Post we branch out; we will start scrubbing off test code and some significant changes in the test layout and consolidate overall the test repository.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> Thank you for your support, feedbacks, and contribution to the test. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
