Applied, thanks.

General question for Matias - is lightnvm maintained anymore at all, or
should we remove it? The project seems dead from my pov, and I don't
even remember anyone even reviewing fixes from other people.


At least from the pblk side, I have no objections to removing it. I test
briefly that pblk runs on new releases, but there are no new features or
known bug fixes coming in.

Current deployments - to the best of my knowledge - are forks, which are
not being retrofitted upstream.

For completeness, I get a number of questions and request primarily from
the academia. These people will probably accuse the lack of LightNVM. I
understand though that this is not an argument to keep it.
