(Get the code!)
We decided to remove the authd package in noble for the time being.
The current implementation (in particular the one in the PAM module) is not up to our standard in terms of quality and what we are confortable to support in the long term. Rather than releasing as is and having risky SRUs in the future changing a large part of the implementation, we decided against this and rather polishing the code, securing it, adding even more tests and releasing all that as a new package SRUed to the 24.04 LTS in the coming months.
That way, we won’t risk to regress any potential users and we will use an architecture we are more confortable supporting for the next 5/10 years of the LTS release.
It means that when we reintroduce it, we will rerequest a new MIR too as the PAM module will largely change and we want to ensure we follow the process and quality standard we expect for the Ubuntu distribution.
