Thanks Mark,
The work for MIR and security review IMHO still was worth it. Both identified a bunch of things that need to be resolved (upstream and in the packaging) before it can be re-considered (which is much better than the former "was bad in the past, but who knows what would be needed").

Too bad that HW manufacturers can't unite on one of openipmi, freipmi, ipmitool and depending what HW you want to control you do you still need one or the other :-/

Despite the NACK we might still land a few identified improvements - like adding better self tests. After all a few people rely on it despite being in universe.

But we can't fix the upstream situation without a much bigger dedication of time/resources than what was planned. So after bug 1576812 in 2016-2017 and now this bug 1978144 in 2022 it has to stay a "Won't Fix" for now.
