For almost two years, the Ironic team has had a "maintenance mode" message on the Metalsmith readme: "Please note the Metalsmith project is in maintenance mode and it's functionality is slowly being introduced into Ironic's API and usual clients. No additional features are expected to be added to Metalsmith directly." CI is currently not passing on this repository, and as far as I can tell there are no engaged users of this project upstream, and no current maintainers of Ironic invested in keeping this project afloat. I propose we retire the metalsmith project and exclude it from the Flamingo release. Are there any objections? Thanks, JayF

After talking with the Release team on Friday/Monday, we already did a Flamingo-versioned release of Metalsmith, meaning that completely excluding it from the Flamingo release is a nontrivial undertaking. I propose we allow this release to be the final one ever of Metalsmith, and retire the master branch and any unsupported releases after the integrated release is complete. -JayF On 8/14/25 5:39 PM, Iury Gregory wrote:

I'm only sad that the dream of easy deployment CLI for Ironic failed to materialize. Please go ahead. Dmitry On 15.08.25 12:56 AM, Jay Faulkner wrote:
