<div>Hello,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In Puppet OpenStack projects we have multiple modules to support multiple OpenStack components.</div>
<div>However unfortunately some of these have not been attracting enough interest from developers and</div>
<div>have been unmaintained.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>During the past few cycles we retired a few incomplete modules but I'm wondering if we can retire</div>
<div>a few unmaintained modules now, to reduce our maintenance/release effort.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I checked the modules we have currently, and I think the following three can be first candidates.</div>
<div>
<div>- puppet-murano</div>
<div>- puppet-rally<br>
</div>
<div>- puppet-tacker</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We haven't seen any feedback from users about these modules for a long time. Most of the changes</div>
<div>for the past 2~3 years are proposed by me but I am not really using these components.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>These modules do not have proper test coverage and it's quite difficult for us to catch any breakage and</div>
<div>honestly I'm not quite sure these modules can work properly with the latest code. Actually we've often</div>
<div>caught up with the latest requirements several years after the change was made in the software side,</div>
<div>and I'm afraid these are not well-maintained.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>eg.</div>
<div> - support for tacker-conductor was added 4 years after the service was added</div>
<div> - we didn't noticed that the openstack plugin was split out from the core rally package for several years<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If anybody has concerns with retiring these modules, then please let us know. If we don't hear any objections</div>
<div>for a while, then I'll start proposing changes for project retirement.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thank you,</div>
