I think you might misunderstand? The discussion isn't to not deprecate it; the discussion is to not immediately break the feature for everyone, and to quickly adjust the configuration file to apply to RHEL10 only for now, so Cockpit would land in RHEL10 (specifically) without the host switcher by default. And after the next release (due to time constraints), then work on messaging this in a better way (in Cockpit itself, in addition to the website and Mastodon) so people know that it's coming and can prepare. As it stands in main right now, without these adjustments, when people upgrade Cockpit (on their non-RHEL systems), they'll find out that the feature they depended on is semi-broken with no explanation as to why or what to do next. The discussion is to prevent that confusion for everyone on non-RHEL systems, and to prevent Cockpit from looking broken or acting in a semi-broken state. |

@garrett I didn't closely follow the discussion. Do with this as you may, it's just one option. Thanks! |
Nah, just take some rest. |
|
I agree with @mvollmer. @martinpitt, please do get some rest and I'm sorry for causing distress over this. We're handling it. We're not tossing away your work on this; we're revising it and making sure the RHEL case is covered immediately and we're working to cover everything else too, hopefully making everyone happy enough in the longer run. |

OK! Don't worry, this wasn't much work, I just wasn't sure if you rather wanted to start from scratch or from current main. |

This reverts commit ee3262e.
Fixes #20823
I give up. Whoever else wants to take this up, I'm not that any more. I the past and following weeks I'm unfortunately unable health-wise to contribute anything significant to this.
