[Bug 2052437] Re: python-boto: obsolete, replaced by python-boto3

[Christian Ehrhardt ]

An extra word on why this all got so late and lost for too long for full
transparency. Simplestreams is held in main by `platform-git/supported-
maas:53: * python3-simplestreams`. It is per-subscriptions owned by not
one, but two teams (already bad) -  server & maas teams for historical
reasons. But it is actually maintained by Paride (foundations / QA) and
code contributions mostly are from CPC which publish into it. Sadly this
setup was begging for things top be lost in the mid of shared
responsibilities. This needed a lessons learned and discussions
happened, the outcome is that CPC will take over ownership in a bit
(With some remaining support from Paride in the cases where it is
actually about infrastructure issues). Eric has a task to work out that
transfer.

Bug description:
  As per:
  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1058652

  Python-boto has long ago been superseded upstream by python-boto3, which has
  been in Debian for several releases.  Python-boto is not maintained upstream
  and is not being ported to modern python versions.

  On behalf of the cloud team, please remove python-boto from unstable testing
  (assuming the latter doesn't happen automatically following removal from
  unstable).
