+    Kolla Ansible no longer sets ``show_multiple_locations = True`` by default
+    when Glance's Ceph RBD backend is enabled. This was applied as a fix but
+    operators must note that this, in turn, disables the Cinder's and Nova's
+    optimisations. On the other hand, these optimisations might have been
+    causing other operators' trouble. Please see the linked bug report.
+    Operators relying on this feature can set the flag themselves using service
+    config overrides.
