Dear everyone,

After over a decade of standing behind Connman, I have in recent months 
come to the conclusion that there are now better (or at least 
better-documented) network-management solutions available for all of my 
use cases. As a result, I no longer use net-misc/connman-gtk .

This is essentially a zero-maintenance package - it has seen very, very 
few bugs since having been added to the tree, it continues to work fine 
for the time being, and I have just bumped it to EAPI 8. However, it has 
currently got no upstream (the relevant GitHub repository got archived 
in 2021) so if/when changes to its dependencies or to the toolchains 
eventually render it non-functional, the future maintainer will likely 
be on their own. Were I still there at that point in time I would 
probably just last-rite it, then again perhaps there is someone here 
able and willing to give this tool a fighting chance!
