Even,
Please the vector GMT driver is not to be removed
It is not. The commit you refer to removes the GTM (GPS Track Maker) driver.
https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pull/5269/commits/f89bccc10e00ef57312165f5ee11f5ee1f1dddc3
it's very much used in GMT. We talked about this before (sorry didn't keep
references of it).
What is to be deprecated is the old netCDF GMT grid format, but not the vector
one
I'm in line with that.
(whose implementation was paid for).
I assume most GDAL drivers, including those in that batch of removal,
have been paid for at some point. That's not a criterion by itself to
keep them 15 years after if no one is willing to keep up with their
overhead and can justify they are still relevant.
Cheers
Joaquim

Subject: Re: [gdal-dev] Motion (V2): remove and deprecate a few drivers
Hi,
I'd appreciate if I could get some approval of
https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pull/5269 (it'll need some trivial adjustment to
be applied due to conflicts) that implements the below decision (for some
reason people tend to be more generous in adding emojis to pull requests that
add new features than ones that remove code).
The removal of the OpenDAP/DODS drivers is not included in that PR since there
was apparently some interest in it https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/issues/5173,
but that failed to materialize with concrete elements to be able to support
them, so I believe they will ultimately go to the rm -rf road too.

Hi,
Updating my yesterday motion with the feedback received (only second
bullet updated with a more restricted set of drivers)
Motion:
- remove the vector drivers BNA, AeronavFAA, HTF, OpenAir, SEGUKOOA,
SEGY, SUA, XPlane and raster drivers BPG, E00GRID, EPSILON,
IGNFHeightASCIIGrid, NTv1. They have all been authored by myself and
I'm not aware of them having been much used or being still in use.
Implemented in https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pull/3373. They (driver
code, doc and tests) have been moved to the
https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal-extra-drivers
- deprecate the raster drivers DODS, JPEG2000 (superseded per
JP2OpenJPEG), JPEGLS, MG4LIDAR, FUJIBAS, IDA, INGR, ZMAP and vector
driver ARCGEN, ArcObjects, CLOUDANT, COUCHDB, DB2, DODS, FME,
GEOMEDIA, GTM, INGRES, MONGODB (superserded per MongoDBV3), REC, WALK
. They will now be disabled at runtime by default, with an explicit
error message when they are triggered, unless the
GDAL_ENABLE_DEPRECATED_DRIVER_{drivername}
configuration option is set to YES, and will be removed in GDAL 3.5.
Implemented in https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pull/3505
