Hi,

Charles Plessy, on 2025-01-08:

now that it is trivial to make a container image containing cluster3
from previous releases, and as cluster3's merit is now historical, how
about we remove the package from the next releases? As we see here,
non-free packages cost more to Debian than free ones...

I would tend to agree, although this is probably not my call as
I'm not an end user of cluster3. That being said, the package
looks to have had a peak of popularity in the 2015-2020 period
before dwindling[1], so we may not find very many end users in
the end.

[1]: https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=cluster3

I cc'ed the other currently recorded uploaders of cluster3 in
case they have matter for objection, but from what I gather from
Steffen (who's on the other side of the table we're seated at t
time) and from what I expect from Andreas, removal would be
okay. Let's go with it?

Have a nice day,

Likewise, :)

I would have loved to make that code free and there was some
discussion about it in the past (to lazy to track this down).

Since I have no capacity to care about this I'm fine with
whatever you want to do with that package.

Kind regards
Andreas.
