Stop the REA harvester at the same time as zef
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This will make the sunsetting of p6c and cpan clearer and more
definite.  It also wouldn't necessitate REA offswitching by default.

Anybody who would still like to use p6c / cpan as an ecosystem, is
welcome to take the REA harvester code and set up their own ecosystem
which can then be activated in zef by those people who would like to
do that.

Any module authors still not having moved their modules to the zef ecosystem by July 1st 2022, should be informed with a i**single** issue that lists the modules in question. This could be an issue in the problem solving repo, but another repo would work as well. The module authors should also be able to indicate they no longer wish to support a module themselves: in that case, a move to the raku-community-modules repo should be considered.

- Stop the ecosystem harvesters on January 1st, 2023
Stop running the ecosystem harvesters of p6c and CPAN. This will effectively disregard any updates of any modules on those ecosystems. But any updates with a new version would still become visible in the REA, as that runs its own harvester.
Stop running the ecosystem harvesters of p6c and CPAN, both the zef one as well as the one run for the REA. This will effectively disregard any updates of any modules on those ecosystems.

- Offer to move any remaining modules to raku-community-modules
Any authors still having modules in the p6c and CPAN ecosystems, should be offered help in moving their modules to zef and/or the raku-community-modules repo (which would then be followed by a move to the zef ecosystem).

- Stop the REA harvester on July 1st, 2023
Stop running the REA harvester: this would make the p6c and CPAN ecosystems truly sunsetted.

- Security updates on remaining modules
Any module remaining in the p6c and CPAN ecosystem, should be forked in the raku-community-modules repo and re-released with a version bump if a security update to these, clearly abandoned modules, is necessary.
