What, the collection? No, I don’t really know it 🤷 From the name (and the desription you can find, for example, in the repository README) it’s about configuring [Open vSwitch](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_vSwitch).

Or do you mean this discussion in general? Well, in simple terms: From time to time we have a look at the collections included in the [Ansible Community Package](https://pypi.org/project/ansible/) (ACP) and ask ourselves if there are some that should be removed to keep it sane. And working on those [that are possibly unmaintained](http://forum.ansible.com/t/6162) is a good starting point.

This is _just_ about removing a collection from ACP, nothing else. It will stay available on GitHub and Galaxy. If not, someone else will have removed it but not us.
