2016-10-17 edit

checks for different environments:
- currently join?
- we'd need overwrite or something similar, let's discuss

Scap targets live in repo
- creates depooling problems for ops
- canaries should be under control of repos/repo owners
- Link targets to pooling information
- TODO: Make task

Should probably happen soon. We're sitting on too many changes currently.
Done scap3 service restart failure
Done scap3 should announce all deploys
Done Remove unnecessary sudo execution and simplify context
??? Scap3 submodule space issues (all users, no workaround, enhancement)
In progress scap deploy-local should make fewer assumptions (debt)
- Will try a feature flag this week
Done (scap part) Scap SWAT automate patch merging & testing during a swat deployment (new functionality)
- sub sub-commands
  - done
- mw-config part, does not block scap release
Done man page and doc updates

Scap config management: Jinja2 fills templates with Pythonic values (all users, ugly workaround, incorrect functionality)
Scap3 config references to deployed directory (all users, no workaround, incorrect/non-obvious functionality)
- 2 parts: modifications to deployed directory and what directory that refers to
- done documentation for scap plugins
  - Define your own deploy workflow via plugins in extreme cases (but you're on your own)
Automate beta scap3/keyholder setup (debt)
- Easy, but dumb to do manually
- Tricky to automate
Oh how I've pined for a version flag (new functionality)
- Low priority
