Re: Deprecating Waltham support in the AGL compositor

["Nobuhiko Tanibata" <nobuhiko.tanibata.j7g@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, 

The usecase was exchanging data between cluster and IVI which are separated ECU. Recently, these two are integrated into one ECU so the usecase maybe not valid anymore.
If there are no more responses about usecase, it can be removed to slim up AGL compositor.

Best regards,
Nobuhiko Tanibata

Subject:  Deprecating Waltham support in the AGL compositor

Hi all,

I've been advocating for a while now for the removal of Waltham support in the AGL compositor. Unfortunately, we don't really have a maintainer for Waltham, nor do we test out or build the transmitter plug-in (it is quite likely it doesn't build at this time).

Given that, and the fact that it would make the AGL compositor more slimmer, I've started now to deprecate support for it [1], with the plan to effectively remove any code related to Waltham that we have in the AGL compositor from our next release (what comes after Octopus basically).

If you feel like Waltham is (still) a technology use-case you'd like to have/use/keep please reach out/speak out so I can hold/stop these actions, or alternatively see if there's a way to still support your uses-cases using a more suitable/viable alternative.
