// adding [networking-ansible] tag in case it can attract attention of the team

Because we have not heard any objections for a while, I've proposed
deprecation of networking-ansible support in puppet-neutron[1] and TripleO[2].

[2] https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/tripleo-heat-templates/+/842997

If anybody has concerns about this, please let us know in the above reviews.

Thank you,
Takashi

Hello


Currently puppet-neutron supports deploying networking-ansible[1].

However I noticed the project looks unmaintained.
 - No release was made since stable/victoria
 - Its job template has not been updated still points openstack-python3-wallaby-jobs
   (likely because of no release activity)
 - setup.cfg still indicates support for Python 2 while it does not support 3.6/7/9

Although the repo got a few patches merged 6 months ago, I've not seen any interest
in maintaining the repository.


Based on the above observations, I'd propose deprecating the support in Zed and removing it
in the post-Zed release. TripleO also supports networking-ansible but that will be also deprecated
and removed because the dependent implementation will be removed.
(That's why I added the tripleo tag)

If you have any concerns then please let me know. If we don't hear any concerns in a few
weeks then I'll propose the deprecation.

I'm adding the [neutron] tag in case anybody in the team is interested in fixing the maintenance status.
IIUC networking-ansible is not part of the stadium but I'm not aware of any good alternatives...


Thank you,
Takashi
