@malte @AndresFreundTec There's still a lot of data out there already in xz format, so merely dropping the software would mean that that data becomes unreadable. Dropping it may be an option, but I'm not sure it's the best option.

The questions at the top of my mind now are: who will fork and continue maintenance of xz? How will we determine that we can trust them? And how will we apply those lessons throughout the larger ecosystem?

I am quite sad that Red Hat doesn't see more value in developing and offering Pagure to customers for private, on-site Git management.
