Vote happens in #229

[mariolenz]

I counted votes:

7 x +1 from SC (mariolenz ssbarnea gotmax23 felixfontein russoz Andersson007 markuman)
3 x +1 from community (cybette maxamillion jillr)

Can someone from the Steering Committee confirm?

[felixfontein]

I can confirm @mariolenz's votes: 7 x +1 from SC, 3 x +1 from community, no other votes.

[mariolenz]

In that case the proposal has been accepted and we will announce to remove the collection from Ansible 10.

Thanks all!

[felixfontein]

This collection had a new release in September, but that release wasn't tagged (ansible-community/ansible-build-data#223 (comment)). There has been no reaction so far in the corresponding issue in the repository either (ansible-collections/netapp.aws#8).

IIRC we've kept issues like this one about collection removal from version X open until X has been released. However, since we've moved discussions to the forum and the collection has been removed from 10.0.0.a1, I think we should close this even if 10.0.0 hasn't been released yet.

If someone wants to discuss cancelling the removal / re-adding of the collection, please open a topic in the forum.
