I believe we can remove it regardless since users could just use the 1.8
version against future releases.
Generally speaking, any library/connector that is no longer actively
developed can be removed from the project as existing users can always
rely on previous versions, which should continue to work by virtue of
working against @Stable APIs.

Hi Flink community,
We plan to delete/deprecate the legacy flink-libraries/flink-ml package in
Flink1.9, and replace it with the new flink-ml interface proposed in FLIP39
(FLINK-12470).
Before we remove this package, I want to reach out to you and ask if there
is any active project still uses this package. Please respond to this
thread and outline how you use flink-libraries/flink-ml.
Depending on the replies of activity and adoption
of flink-libraries/flink-ml, we will decide to either delete this package
in Flink1.9 or deprecate it for now & remove it in the next release after
1.9.
Thanks for your attention and help!
Regards,
Shaoxuan
