Soon™/Wishlist/On the radar/Updates

Rollback (parsoid finding logic errors)

• Scap rollback fails after promote completes - promote removes .in-progress flag
• Rollback failed when target is down - could not create .in-progress flag
• Canary doesn't rollback if you don't continue - enhancement probably needed
• Allow failures for a percentage of targets - enhancement related, somewhat

For 3.3.2

• Smart-merge checks for different environments

For 3.4.0 release
