While I agree with Mitchell that some still users use it, it might be time to force reconsidering to something that is well maintained. If upstream is dead but we are continuing we help to set users up for failure in the long run.
Furthermore now being removed in Debian will put even more burden on just Ubuntu and I'd not know someone easily able to say "yeah I can spend all the time needed for this". And gladly in this case there are alternatives: - mdadm based solutions can behave quite similar - Raid via filesystem features like in zfs - ... probably more I didn't check And 24.10 is "only" the first -dev release towards 26.04. It is just the right time to do such changes IMHO. I'd be in favor of removing it The alternative is to keep it as-is for 24.10 but remove it very early in 25.04 allowing us all the development time of 25.04 to detect if that was a really bad idea. But being well after Feature Freeze that will also need release team approval - I'll reach out. If we agree and remove it, we'd want to add something like [1] to the Oracular (or if we do it in 25.04 there) release notes.
