I do not think we can drop support on the only release that is
released in existing distributions.
CentOS 8.1 and Fedora 31 have nmstate-0.1, and we are supposed to drop the packages in
the middle.
Upstream (the github project) does not need to follow the release
policy of downstream (distributions).
We are also interested to support the community and get feedback.
This is why I sent this notification, to allow the community to object.
The community does not have any other stable version to experiment
with nmstate except
Fedora rawhide and CentOS 8.1 that is patched with NM 1.22 (but some will not be
interested in going that far).
I would not recommend anyone to experiment with Nmstate 0.1 but use
Nmstate. And for experimentation, I would also recommend using a test
machine/container, so using Fedora 32 should not be a problem for
them. Nevertheless, I would like to avoid to speculate about our
community but instead get their feedback. To me it seems we invest a
lot into providing artifacts that nobody is using instead of focusing
on making Nmstate as awesome as possible.
Kind regards
Till
