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.

now, we have to support it throughout the 1.5 release lifecycl

@asklymenko @dmbaturin
I’m confused, the PR for the “current”, not for 1.5
Will we support “salt” for the current until circinus EOL?
