This probably causes a bit wider effect than just retiring the winstackers project.
I see some projects (cinde, designate, glance and os-brick) depend on os-win which is under governance of winstackers and will be retired. Also, even some more projects (Neutron, os-vif, ovsdbapp, oslo.log, etc) supports windows without os-win.
If we retire Winstackers, then is it reasonable to remove all implementations to support Windows ?
That's very good question IMO. And, from Neutron perspective very important according to the removal of netifaces dependency - it would be much easier to remove it by removing all "windows" module from Neutron repo rather than refactoring it.
I agree. Thanks, Takashi for raising it. If we retire Winstackers then yes, it means all dependencies of any functionality (user-facing or internal) need to be removed also. This is not a good situation for us as window support of OpenStack, if I am not wrong, Cloudbase is the only company maintaining and supporting the window support since starting. If there is any company having their customer based on windows then this is the right time to step up and help in maintaining this project. Otherway (based on project wants and have the bandwidth) is to implement the alternate way in projects for window support (the one you mentioned has window support ). -gmann

Thanks, Lucian, for the updates and email link.
As the next step, we will discuss it in TC and take the next action.

Hi, Thanks for reaching out. As mentioned here [1], Cloudbase Solutions can no longer lead the Winstackers project. Since there weren’t any other interested parties, I think there’s no other option but to retire the

There is no PTL candidate for the next cycle (2023.2), and it is on the
leaderless project list. Please
check if you or anyone you know would like to lead this project.

Also, if anyone else would like to help leading this project, this is time to let TC knows.
