Please separate the [Netbinox](https://wiki.apidesign.org/wiki/Netbinox) removal effort into its own PR. > - JGIT SSH commit signing > - NetBinox removal > - JNA as OSGI bundle I don't understand why the [Netbinox](https://wiki.apidesign.org/wiki/Netbinox) removal is part of such a Jumbo PR? A major change like that deserves its own PR, I believe! I am not interested in commenting JGit SSH commit signing change, but I'd like to add some notes about [Netbinox](https://wiki.apidesign.org/wiki/Netbinox) - which I still consider the [major success of NetBeans](https://wiki.apidesign.org/wiki/JDeveloper) in the 2010-2015 "Oracle" era. > As preparation Netbinox is dropped as it is essentially unmaintained. Is there any other problem with Netbinox except it is _essentially unmaintained_ (just like a majority of NetBeans Platform code)? > (Netbinox is) the one of the two OSGI implementations It is not just "one of two". It is the [faster one](https://wiki.apidesign.org/wiki/Equinox). It is also the one necessary for running [Mylyn](https://wiki.apidesign.org/wiki/Mylyn) the "OSGi way". It is the base for integration with [JDeveloper](https://wiki.apidesign.org/wiki/JDeveloper). Maybe such "cut offs" are necessary given the manpower left, but after enumerating them, I shall probably ask: What would I have to do to create a perception of _Netbinox being maintained_? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
