Motivation for this change
The
foswiki
package is badly out of date and it is time to deprecatehttpd.extraSubservices
in favor of real modules. Since this package is so badly out of date no one should be using it so it is acceptable to simply drop the package/subservice instead of replacing it with a module. That being said... if anyone is motivated enough to create afoswiki
module I'm sure that would be welcome.For prior work on the topic of deprecating
httpd.extraSubservices
