This bmc advertises a Bios resource on its system and answers 404 for it. Confluent followed the link and passed the bmc's complaint on as an unexpected error, so a nodeconfig read printed every bmc setting and then ended with "The requested resource of type named 'Bios' was not found", and the system half of the configuration was a 500 saying the same. There is already a good answer for a system that offers no bios settings, and a link that is advertised and not served is the same thing as far as a caller is concerned, so give it the same one. The result is checked once and remembered, including the negative, so this costs one request on the first ask and nothing after.

Versioning and releases
The top-level VERSION file names the release the current branch is working toward. Build scripts
call ./mkversion, which turns it into the version stamped on packages: the tag itself on a release
tag (4.0.1), otherwise a development version (4.0.1.dev5+gdeadbee, or 4.0.1~dev5+gdeadbee for
the packages that have no setup.py).
mkversion also derives a version from the newest tag reachable from HEAD and uses whichever is
higher, so forgetting to bump VERSION after tagging the current branch cannot walk the version
backwards. Staying ahead of tags on other branches is what VERSION itself is for: patch releases
are tagged on release branches, which master never sees.
Cutting a new series:
- Land the release commit on master and tag
X.Y.0there. - Create branch
X.Yfrom that tag; it inheritsVERSION=X.Y.0. - Only then bump
VERSIONon master. Doing it before step 2 leaves the release branch on the wrong series.
Patch releases land on branch X.Y and are tagged X.Y.Z there; no VERSION edit is needed.
