Records, after the fact, the decision the project already executed in July: MetalLB stays the shipped default, Service.spec.loadBalancerClass is the integration point for any other LoadBalancer implementation, and Cilium L2 Announcements is not adopted as the platform announcer at this time.

The mechanism landed in cozystack/cozystack#3218 and the migration epic was declined when cozystack/cozystack#2586 closed; the reasoning has only ever lived across a merged PR, a closed epic, and a comment thread. This proposal gathers it in one place so it is not re-litigated one pull request at a time, and names the concrete upstream conditions under which the announcer question reopens.

MetalLB stays the shipped default, Service.spec.loadBalancerClass is the
integration point for alternative implementations, and Cilium L2
Announcements is not adopted as the platform announcer. The decision was
executed in July 2026; this records the reasoning and the upstream
conditions under which the announcer question reopens.
