Reminder for deleting 3 network drivers in MdeModulePkg

Reminder for deleting 3 network drivers in MdeModulePkg

[Fu, Siyuan]

Hi, All

This email is a reminder for the patch series "Delete TCP, PXE, iSCSI driver in MdeModulePkg" https://lists.01.org/pipermail/edk2-devel/2018-October/031605.html, which *intend to delete 3 network drivers from edk2 repository*. Please help to review this email and also the patch series to provide your feedback before this weekend.

Below is a driver list which we want to *delete* from edk2 master, because these drivers have not been actively maintained for a long time, and can't co-work with the dual-stack drivers in NetworkPkg.
               MdeModulePkg/Universal/Network/Tcp4Dxe       (will be deleted)
               MdeModulePkg/Universal/Network/UefiPxeBcDxe      (will be deleted)
               MdeModulePkg/Universal/Network/IScsiDxe      (will be deleted)

Below drivers in NetworkPkg contains all the functionalities compared with the MdeModulePkg version, with more bug fixes and more new feature added:
NetworkPkg/TcpDxe/TcpDxe.inf
NetworkPkg/UefiPxeBcDxe/UefiPxeBcDxe.inf
NetworkPkg/IScsiDxe/IScsiDxe.inf

People who want to continue use these deleted drivers could go to edk2/UDK2018 branch to get them, but it's *highly not recommended*.

*If you have any opposition on deleting these drivers, please let me know before this weekend, thanks.*

Bugzilla link for this issue:
               https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1278

They should also be able to use edk2-stable201811, right?

I am all for this change. The diffstat is very nice :)

Hi, Leif

I think checking the branch is a little better than the tag, because we may still have critical bug fixes after the official release.

While any of them are not recommended, always using the NetworkPkg version driver is the best choice.

I will modify the edk2 network wiki page for an updated sample DSC/FDF section, if this patch could pass review w/o objection.

Re: Reminder for deleting 3 network drivers in MdeModulePkg

[Fu, Siyuan]

Hi, Leif

Just notice that you are saying edk2-stable201811 tag. 

We need more time to collect community/marketing feedback on deleting these driver, so it may won't be able to catch the stable tag in next month.

BestRegards
Fu Siyuan

Re: Reminder for deleting 3 network drivers in MdeModulePkg

[Leif Lindholm]

Hi Fu Siyuan,

That is fine too.
But I expect the change to be one to go in the week after a stable tag
has been made.

(My own philosophy is that one can be quite aggressive with removals,
because if it turns out to have been a bad idea, git revert can
quickly restore the tree to the state it was.)

Best Regards,

Leif

Re: Reminder for deleting 3 network drivers in MdeModulePkg

[Gao, Liming]

Leif:
  If all Stewards agree this change to remove MdeModulePkg Tcp4Dxe/UefiPxeBcDxe/IScsiDxe, we will try to include it in edk2-stable201811 stable tag. 

Andrew and Mike:
  Do you agree this change to happen in near edk2-stable201811 stable tag?

Thanks

No no no. I was suggesting deleting them immediately _after_ the
stable tag (if review is complete by then).
