Are you insane ?

RDP flat out does not work (as in, the Windows RDP client throws an
exception, and yes I reported this bug years ago, and it is still not
fixed)

And some of us rely on VNC for, you know, getting actual work done.

Now I have to go through a long exercise of down-grading my machine
again to get a working installation.

Title:
  Drop VNC support from GNOME Remote Desktop in Kinetic

Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in gnome-remote-desktop package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  RDP has significantly improved privacy and performance compared to
  VNC.

  I am struggling to find any use cases where GNOME's VNC should be
  preferred to RDP.

  GNOME is so far unwilling to provide full VNC options in the GNOME
  Settings app.

  The VNC feature was labeled as Legacy in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.

  There is value in only providing a single remote desktop method by
  default that works well.

  gnome-remote-desktop 43 by default only builds the RDP provider and so
  far I haven't seen complaints about that.

  Therefore, I think we should drop the VNC feature for Ubuntu 22.10.

  Otherwise, we need to:
  1. enable VNC in gnome-remote-desktop 43
  2. Update the VNC patch in gnome-control-center 43
