2 years back I proposed dropping the sheepdog mailing list from the

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?
