is this module deprecated?

[anarcat]

hi!

reading #74 and #24, it became clear to me that this module has not seen a lot of activity in recent years. there was 9c5d127 last year, but that was after 6 years of inactivity. there are a lot of pending pull requests and the fork network looks like a gnarled forest where everyone is trying to figure out how to fix the same issues.

Yet if you search for libvirt on the forge, you are very likely to find it. it's especially prominent if you sort by number of downloads, with a whopping 1.2M downloads, far ahead of the next one (cirrax-libvirt, ~40k downloads).

So it's very likely many people are doing the same mistake as I am and picking this module instead of cirrax, even though the latter is actively maintained, well featured, and actually works out of the box on Debian bullseye (which is still a problem here).

In #74, the example42 people were wondering if they should deprecate their module in favor of this one, but then eventually deprecated example42-libvirt in favor of the cirrax one.

so, it seems this module is really deprecated. shouldn't it be marked as such and point people at cirrax-libvirt instead?

thanks!
