Why? Red Hat no longer uses or ships moby-engine or any of it's derivatives, it's moved all it's focus to the podman ecosystem, if it was up to Red Hat they would have dropped moby from FCoS long ago, I suspect it's there up until now to give the community a choice. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
