[syslog-ng] RFC: incubator is to be discontinued

[Scheidler, Balázs]

Hi,

We had a discussion with our Debian maintainer about the fate of
syslog-ng-incubator. For those of you who don't know, it is a set of
syslog-ng modules not integrated to syslog-ng master for one reason or
another.

It is available from here:

https://github.com/balabit/syslog-ng-incubator

The problem with this repository is that it is not really maintained,
causing compilation and functionality issues down the line.

So our opinion is to go ahead and integrate stuff that can be brough up to
speed. Once we've done what we could, we would discontinue the incubator
altogether.

Please speak up now, if you disagree, but please also be ready to help us
out in maintenance in that case.

If there are no disagreements in the following week, we would start to
phasing out the incubator.

We welcome volunteers to:

1) migrate code, OR
2) help with testing

If you are the user of any of those plugins, letting us know at this point
also helps making sure that no functionality is lost.

Thanks.
