2 years back I proposed dropping the sheepdog mailing list from the MAINTAINERS file, but somehow the patch never got picked up:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-block/2018-03/msg01048.html
So here I am with the same patch again.
This time I go further and deprecate the sheepdog driver entirely. See the rationale in the second patch commit message.

I don't know of anyone shipping this other than Fedora, and I certainly don't use it there. Upstream looks like it's unmaintained now, with no commits in over two years: https://github.com/sheepdog/sheepdog/commits/master Can we also get a corresponding change to eliminate this from libvirt?
