Subject: [9fans] farewell to /sys/src/fs and IL
Topicbox-Message-UUID: b294c11c-ead2-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025

In the interest of minimising maintenance, we're going to stop
maintaining Ken's fs and IL entirely.  We thank them (and Ken) for
many years of faithful service.  We're now running fossil with nventi
on our main file servers.  cwfs(4) now exists, so old juke boxes are
still accessible.

This does not mean that you need to stop running Ken's fs, just that
we're going to remove /sys/src/fs and /sys/src/9/ip/il.c from the
distribution, and that a replica/pull in the near future may remove
them from your system, so you may want to rename them or make copies
beforehand, or copy them out of the dump afterwards.

If anybody wants to maintain Ken's fs and keep copies in
sources/contrib (for example), that's fine.  I've put a snapshot of
the current /sys/src/fs in /n/sources/extra/kenfs.tgz.
