[Starlingx-discuss] May have to consider an lshell replacement

Is LShell and ibsh specific to CentOS or it applicable for other OS? Say for example, can we look for alternatives that Ubuntu or ClearLinux is using for the similar functionality?
Thanks. - cindy

Alternatives in increasing levels of commitment to lshell:
* replace it
* fork the project and fix the CVEs and continue
* adopt the project and take over maintenance as a stand0-alone project should the existing maintainer be interested in doing so[0]

I am specifically not listing 'do nothing' as active CVEs must be addressed...

[0] OpenStack has done this on occasion when a dependency goes dormant and the maintainer has no interest in continuing and the cost of converting outweighs the perceived cost of maintenance and ownership.
