+mpSkyEphemerisQueryTask
+=======================
+
+The AP pipelines now run :py:class:`lsst.ap.association.MPSkyEphemerisQueryTask`, which includes a request to mpSky.
+mpSky is not expected to host ephemerides for all test datasets, (or be reachable from Jenkins) so it will often (or always) fail.
+When requests fail, mpSkyEphemerisQuery will return nothing, and diaPipe will skip ssoAssociation.
