networking-bigswitch is no longer maintained

[Takashi Kajinami]

The networking-bigswitch plugin is no longer maintained. The repository has not been updated for 2 years and the last stable release is stable/train.

https://opendev.org/x/networking-bigswitch

We don't expect any user is using the plugin with recent OpenStack releases so we should remove support for the plugin.

    Deprecate support for networking-bigswitch

    The networking-bigswitch plugin is unmaintained. The repo[1] has not
    been updated for 2 years and no release has been created since Train.
    Because we don't expect any user is using that unmainitained plugin
    with recent versions of OpenStack, let's deprecate support for
    the plugin so that we can remove it completely in the next cycle.

    Remove support for networking-bigswitch

    The networking-bigswitch plugin is no longer maintained. The repository
    has not been updated for 2 years and no release has been made since
    stable/train.

    Ideally we should deprecate the functionality first. However current
    TripleO follows its own independent release cycle and this makes it
    difficult to implement deprecation consistent with the underlying
    puppet-neutron. (We are deprecating support for the plugin during Yoga
    and will remove it completely in Zed). Because of this situation and
    the assumption that it's not likely any user will use the plugin with
    recent versions of OpenStack, this change directly removes support
    for the plugin from TripleO.
