Deprecated by authors, should be moved to examples dir since it's still used by some sample apps. Removing it depends on some other connectors that are deprecated here.
If there's a need to bring some of these packages back, or if the package gets refactored so that it matches
the state of other cacti packages, then the package can be restored. Removed packages can still be accessed by checking-out the state of this repo before the removal (I'll add appropriate commits next to the removed plugins on the list as the PR get merged).
Motivation
We want to clean up older connectors before V2 release to simplify maitanance in the future. More packages means more dependencies that must be regularry checked and updated (security fixes), some of these packages are also deprecetad mainstream / by authors.
@outSH good initiative. Agree with all - I will do things on my end to remove the Ubiquity package (if/when we have support for this plugin within BD we can add it again)
Deprecate and remove some older connectors and docker images as it was initially discussed during maintainer meetings https://wiki.hyperledger.org/display/cactus/2024-03-14+Cacti+Maintainers+Agenda and https://wiki.hyperledger.org/display/cactus/2024-03-20+Cacti+Maintainers+Agenda.

Deprecation and package removal is not final
If there's a need to bring some of these packages back, or if the package gets refactored so that it matches the state of other cacti packages, then the package can be restored. Removed packages can still be accessed by checking-out the state of this repo before the removal (I'll add appropriate commits next to the removed plugins on the list as the PR get merged).
