+==========================================
+Migrate CI/CD jobs to new Ubuntu LTS Focal
+==========================================
+
+At the start of the Victoria development cycle, the current
+:ref:`LTS or stable distribution <pti-linux-distros>` versions
+include Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal). Our CI/CD testing use Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic)
+version. We need to migrate the testing to the new Ubuntu Focal.
+
+Current CI/CD jobs are mixed with zuulv3 native and legacy jobs. During Ubuntu
+Xenial to Bionic migration we did comparable work (especially legacy
+job migration was painful).
+
+Zuulv3 native jobs community goal of Victoria cycle will make this
+migration easy.
+
+In this goal, we will only migrate the zuulv3 native jobs to Ubuntu Focal
+which includes the devstack base job migration also. So that all the legacy
+jobs will be migrated to Ubuntu Focal automatically during zuulv3 migration
+work.
+
+If any failures related to the new distro (Focal) block the zuulv3 migration, then
+such jobs can use Bionic nodeset temporarily and later migrate to Focal.
+
+Stable branches will keep using their original distro version, and that will
+be handled with job branches variant.
