I think that's the "MinIO gateway and the related filesystem mode"
that was removed, it didn't sound like it would be coming back.

Understandable though, it seems like there's no way to change over
in-place and you need to stand up new storage (quite possibly on
additional hardware), disable writes to the old installation, mirror (I
am guessing this will be Quite A Lot Of Data on a busy-ish mastodon
instance using this as a storage backend), and wait for tbat to finish
before re-enabling.

But you said this:

: I tried to update then and... minio wouldn't start because I was
: actually impacted by the deprecation.
: 
: I don't have the exact error message anymore, but it's from
: cmd/format-erasure.go:
: return "", fmt.Errorf(`found backend type %s, expected %s or %s - to migrate

: 
: To migrate away from the deprecated mode, the procedure is documented:

https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/operations/install-deploy-manage/migrate-fs-gateway.html

Providing packages for both versions will certainly help users across
that bump if they want to upgrade, as well as helping people who want
to keep their existing setup.
