+1 for the proposed plan Regards, Nicolas Vazquez From: Rohit Yadav <[email protected]> Date: Tuesday, 25 November 2025 at 5:34 AM To: dev <[email protected]>, [email protected] <[email protected]> Cc: PMC <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [DEPRECATE] retire UCS hypervisor plugin +1 we should be able to deprecate them and eventually remove them. Many storage/hypervisor/network plugins were created as PoC and were only broadly supported without much depth. UCS was one of them, and it's likely it does not work and the s/w - h/w stack is deprecated / vendor EOL'd. We should be able to retire those, incl UCS.

Apart from not having had any maintenance for more than a decade, I have not heard of any users of it ever. I therefore propose we retire the plugin and mark it as deprecated in the upcoming 20.3 and 22.1 releases to be totally removed in release 23. If there are willing maintainers and/or users, or if there is any other reason we shouldn't retire this plugin, please let it be known. regards, Daan
