Microversion 1.35_ adds support for the ``root_required`` query parameter to the ``GET /allocation_candidates`` API. It accepts a comma-delimited list of trait names, each optionally prefixed with ``!`` to indicate a forbidden trait, in the same format as the ``required`` query parameter. This restricts allocation requests in the response to only those whose (non-sharing) tree's root resource provider satisfies the specified trait requirements. This is to support use cases like, "Land my VM on a host that is capable of multi-attach," or, "Reserve my Windows-licensed hosts for special use."

In the unfortunate event that bugs are discovered, they should be reported to the appropriate bug tracker. If you obtained the software from a 3rd party operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker, available at:
