Re: [gdal-dev] Considering drivers removal ?

I am definitely for removing unused things that talk to servers or use binary drivers. I can see wanting to keep drivers that don't interact with servers for posterity, but I think that cost is starting to get high. A system like you describe with a good lead time sounds good. In the Google setu

Even, This makes a lot of sense to me. How would you handle this in Python? Would it make sense to create a GDAL-removed repository and move stuff into it just so it is available if someone wants it. This would not be supported or updated by GDAL just making it available if someone wants/needs

A bit of googling sometimes gives an indication. I was a little confused about SVG, not using it myself but getting quite a few references.

Hi, It's not spring yet, but I'm in a mood lately of axing useless things, and we probably have tons of candidate for that in GDAL, especially in drivers. I was going to just axe the DB2 driver (https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pull/3366) but the issue is more general. Any idea how we can know what
