We have marked the salt as deprecated.
I wonder if it is time to remove it completely.
Yes, however Salt is going to stay until 1.5’s EOL, even though it’s deprecated. |

While Salt is deprecated now, we have to support it throughout the 1.5 release lifecycle, so we should better be able to patch it — especially considering that the version we use (as per requests from customers who used Salt) is quite old.
