Hi,
I got feedback from a user
(https://mastodon.social/@le...@fosstodon.org/111470467316641321) that
the driver is apparently still usable for some datasets that can be
downloaded from the national map catalog
(https://kartkatalog.geonorge.no<https://kartkatalog.geonorge.no>). So I
guess we'll have to keep it alive for now. But the Norwegian community
would be most welcome to step up to maintain it to address its shortcomings.

Hi,
However, I doubt that these organisations use the SOSI driver from
GDAL/OGR to produce these files.
They can't: the driver is read-only
Discussing that topic with other developers today during GDAL
maintainer meeting, we could proceed with how we did in the past with
drivers we suspected to be no longer used but lacked data points. That
is in 3.9 the driver will be still there, but when it detects a SOSI
dataset, it will error out with a message indicating to the user that
they have to define an environment variable to enable it, and invite
them to file an issue on the bug tracker to make a case for keeping
the driver, otherwise without feedback, the driver will be fully
removed in 3.10
Dan also pointed to that QGIS ticket
(https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues/50868) where a user reported a
crash when trying to use a SOSI file, showing that there are issues in
the driver and/or libfyba.
