One could argue I guess that we could mention something in this guide
saying that noVNC versions < 0.6 are known to be problematic?

Title:
  novncproxy in Newton uses outdated novnc 0.5 which breaks Nova noVNC
  consoles

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  In Progress
Status in tripleo:
  New

Bug description:
  Delorean Newton (CentOS 7) ships with noVNC 0.5.2 in the Overcloud
  images. Even building an Overcloud image (DIB) produces an image with
  noVNC 0.5.2. The problem seems to be that CentOS 7 does not ship
  anything newer than 0.5.2. However, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 does
  indeed ship noVNC 0.6.

  In any case, Nova noVNC consoles in Newton don't work with noVNC
  0.5.2. My workaround was to customize the Overcloud base image and
  replace the 0.5.2 RPM with a 0.6.2 RPM that I downloaded from some
  CentOS CI repository.

  Steps to reproduce
  ==================

  Follow instructions from https://docs.openstack.org/tripleo-docs/latest/install/installation/installing.html to install an OpenStack Undercloud using Newton, and either download the Overcloud base images from here 
  https://images.rdoproject.org/newton/delorean/consistent/testing/ or build them yourself directly from the Undercloud.

  In any case, the Overcloud base image ships with noVNC 0.5.2-1 instead
  of 0.6.*.

  Expected result
  ===============

  A newer version of noVNC that does not break the Nova noVNC console.
