Remove indev mapgen

Anything can be done via lua mods

There is no replacement mapgen for indev in Lua.

^ true. Also, Lua is a way too slow for "complicated" operations.

Yes, please remove indev mapgen. A replacement would be easy, choose a floatlands mod, choose a cavern mod, use mapgen settings in minetest.conf to create higher mountains. Floatland and cavern lua mods are simple and therefore fast in lua (1 second per chunk non luaJIT on an old laptop).
Currently in indev, the floatlands are flat, limited and boring (i designed them a year ago), the big caves are sliced by the chunk edges and have flat sides, very poor quality.

Fast mod to replace indev's big caves https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=9601 roughly half a second per chunk.

I'm also ok with removing it. But what happens when someone loads a world that previously used indev mapgen? I don't see anywhere where it switches to v6.
