Re: [44net] gateways sunset

I suggest that you publish a list of whatever you plan to delete. Then give people a small but reasonable amount of time to review the list. It may help to avoid any accidental removals of gateways of those of us who are active.

Since then we've requested that people operating gateways "take possession" of them by registering their active gateways. I believe the time has come to flush all the gateway entries which have not been registered -- clearly by now if they're not registered they must be abandoned. So I propose that we use the month of August to get the last of the active gateways registered with the portal, and after the last day of the month we remove all unregistered gateways from the gateways files. What will remain are the gateways that are still active and being operated by somebody. This should make the tunnels routing table a bit smaller.
