@mariolenz thanks for keeping the package clean of unmaintained stuff! Should we start the removal process for this and the other cases? ---

OT but yes, I’m working on them. Some look a little bit tricky, though… but maybe we should move this discussion to [Possibly unmaintained collections in ansible 13](https://forum.ansible.com/t/44873). ---

> [@Andersson007](#): > > Should we start the removal process for this I’m not sure how many people are available ATM. It’s still holiday season / PTO time now in early January. But the collection looks pretty dead. So I guess I’ll wait another week and then start a vote. ---

Sounds good to me. It really looks dead to me. ---

I’d like to vote on removing this collection from Ansible 15 since it looks unmaintained.

@Akasurde I think that you’re the current core representative, so of course you can also vote 😃 ---

The vote ended today. 8 steering committee members voted in favor of removing `netapp.cloudmanager` from Ansible 15, which means we’ve reached the quorum and the vote is accepted. There were also 2 votes from the community in favor of this, and none (neither from the steering committee nor from the community) against it. _edit_: [Deprecate netapp.cloudmanager](https://github.com/ansible-community/ansible-build-data/pull/644)
