Hi electronics-team,

Does anyone still care about qflow? It fell out of testing due to the
opensta which FTBFS with gcc-13 (See #1037806).

Ruben was is busy last time I checked and I only care about it in so far as
it depends on my berkeley-abc (now yosys-abc) package. I'm gearing up to
have src:berekeley-abc removed since I build it as part of src:yosys (multi
upstream tarball) now.

I had a look at opensta to see how hard it would be to bring this up to
date, but looking at upstream's attitude to outside contributions: "OpenSTA
does not solicit or accept external code contributions." I don't really
feel like working on this at all.

To not force the issue for now I tried to switch qflow's berkeley-abc
depends to yosys-abc but lintian throws all sorts of errors so that looks
like a buch of busy work too.

If anyone wants to keep qflow please speak up now (with patches) or forever
RM thy source.
