Riak have been updated a lot since the version 2.2 (now 3.0.10) but
has seen no updated to the package. This is at this point
a problem forcing us to maintain old versions of erlang.
We would be happy to re accept a newer version of Riak if someone want
to spend the time to set it up.
Still actively developed and yet stuck on python2. Also marked as
vulnerable and their issue tracker contains yet another security issue
reported in 2021/10 that the upstream hasn't acknowledged yet.
Mind blown.
Closes: #135543, #97274, #97275
Upstream repositories do no longer exists. There has been no release in
a while. - Not a good combination for a network daemon running as root
in C that parses network packets...
udev gained native support to handle FIDO security tokens, so we don't
need a module which only added the now obsolete udev rules.
Fixes: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/76482
Due to the support of the systemd-logind API the udev rules aren't
required anymore which renders this module useless [0].
Note: brightnessctl should now require a working D-Bus setup and a valid
local logind session for this to work.

This module allows root autoLogin, so we would break that for users, but
they shouldn't be using it anyways. This gives the impression like auto
is some special display manager, when it's just lightdm and special pam
rules to allow root autoLogin. It was created for NixOS's testing
so I believe this is where it belongs.
On numerous occasions I have seen users mistake this
module as libinput because it being called "multitouch"
and them being unaware that the actually module they want
is libinput. They then run into several decrepit bugs due
to the completely out-of-date nature of the underlying package.
The underlying package hasn't been changed to an up-to-date
fork in a period of 8 years. I don't consider this to be production quality.
However, I'm not opposed for the module being readded to NixOS
with new packaging, and a better name.
