Just adding my two cents, as I'm the one who originally reported the RM bug against kubernetes. I originally filed the RM bug, because I didn't see how the kubernetes package adds any value for users. In the worst case someone might use it and be surprised by the bugginess and old age of the package or even get hit by its abundant security issues. However, I have no particular technical problem with the package, so it would be fine by me if kubernetes stays in unstable just to satisfy the dependency for kubectx until a better solution is found. I just noticed that there are also RM bugs for dependencies of kubernetes (#902180) and apparently they actually do have a good reason to remove the package, so there actually seems to be a need to find a solution for this soon. Unfortunately, right now, I don't see a better solution than removing kubectx from unstable. Regards Sven
