I did not have any plans. The conversation around this has just died another time and I do not really remember where we left it.

I really do not want to carry around stuff that nobody cares about and that the conversation has died multiple times suggests just that. In fact we are trying to drop more dead stuff because if nobody updates it and nobody uses it, what is the point?

What is your view of the things around pmacct? Is it ready? What do users gain from having it in the distribution?

Apart from that, I wanted to close Core Update 157 pretty much this week because the big things have been merged so far. We have some Python 2 migration stuff on the list which can wait for 158, it is important but not urgent.

Did I miss anything?
