DUNES Deprecation Feedback Tracker

[bhazzard]

After much deliberation, DUNES has been deprecated as of January 2024. This decision was not made lightly. Here we provide some context behind this change, and request your feedback so we can best support the community's needs moving forward.

Context
DUNES was initially conceived as a simple and platform independent way to run Antelope nodes. In practice, it had relatively low adoption. Furthermore, the time required to maintain DUNES exceeds the tangible benefits to the community.

With limited resources and an efficiency mindset, we are directing our efforts towards projects with a higher impact. By focusing our efforts on more widely used projects we deliver better value to our community.
