Due to lack of a maintainer, and deviating from established practices almost universally (custom bootloader, custom package manager, ...), it's not productive to keep support for Clear Linux in mkosi. We have no idea if it works at all, no idea if something we do is going to break it, and haven't received any feedback from Clear Linux users for multiple years. Hence let's drop support for Clear Linux from mkosi to reduce maintenance costs.

Ack on removing it |

sounds ok to me. i think intel deemphesized clear linux a bit, so i guess there's no reason for us to keep this bitrotting, if it has no future. |

The removal should also get a changelog entry, but this can be done after the fact. Merging. |
