My overwhelming concern with this is what happens to the users in the field who
depend on slider but don't foresee migrating to Hadoop 3.x any time soon.
Given the size of the 3.x changes and the likely disruption to operations that
such a migration would cause for a Hadoop cluster of any significant size, I
can only imagine that this will matter to a significant number of slider users.

Dear Slider Community,
Activity on Slider has been very low for about a year and we have received
feedback from the IPMC that it is time for us to figure out where the
project is going. Also, an AM implementation that supports long running
services has now been released in Apache Hadoop YARN 3.1.0. Let's start a
discussion on whether it is time to retire the Slider podling.
Here is some information about what retirement means and what the
retirement process looks like:
