-"""v3 controller stub
-
-Since Glance Artifact Service was released in Liberty as experimental Glance v3
-API, its router was referenced in paste configuration as glance.api.v3.router
-In Mitaka the Artifacts Service was moved into a standalone process and its
-router was renamed to glance.api.artifacts.router.
-However, in existing deployments the glance-api-paste.ini may still reference
-the glance.api.v3.router. To not break these deployments this stub is included
-to redirect the v3 request to glare service (if it is present) or return a 410
-otherwise.
-This stub controller should be removed in future releases.
