As they were included in Survey, that will be a good notification to users and maybe in the 2024 year survey, we can remove them.

I like your second suggestion about putting a disclaimer. We can also reach out to folks who are running these services to let them know. To have the most accurate picture of OpenStack deployments, I do not recommending removing these projects from the User Survey at any point. Most users are running old releases which means that they may still be running these services, which I think is valuable for us to know.

Based on feedback last year, I included additional, non-identifiable information that will hopefully help provident deployment context for the responses to your questions. If you need a reminder of your project question, you can review the OpenStack User Survey [1]. During the PTG, I would encourage you and your teams to review the responses and decide if you would like to make any changes to your question for the 2023 OpenStack User Survey. It is live now, but we can make changes ahead of significant promotion. Please reach out to me directly with any changes.
