Hello Glance users,

The Glance project team wants to determine whether anyone is using the glance-scrubber utility [0].  If not, we are thinking of deprecating it this cycle to be removed in the appropriate future cycle.

Having heard no negative responses over the past 3 weeks, I've posted a patch to deprecate the glance-scrubber utility for removal during the 2024.2 (Dalmation) development cycle: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/glance/+/910042 If you have any last-minute concerns, please voice them on the review. cheers, brian

If you have not previously heard of the glance-scrubber, that's most likely because it's only useful for particular deployment configurations of which yours is not one.  See the doc [0] for details if you are curious.

Our suspicion is that the glance-scrubber may have outlived its usefulness for modern OpenStack configurations. (The last time I remember it being discussed at a PTG was during the snowstorm in Dublin, which I believe was the Rocky development cycle).  On the other hand, the team also has some ideas for improving the scrubber, but there's no point doing that if it's not actually being used in the first place.

So if removal of the glance-scrubber would negatively affect you, please respond to this email so we can get some data points.

Thanks!
