- The testing git repo has not served the purpose it was designed for in a long time, due to the development model having changed dramatically.

- The official openvpn.git repositories users can fetch our git trees from are on GitLab, GitHub, and SourceForge.net, and they should always be in sync.

- openvpn-testing.git is currently only hosted on SourceForge.net and should be removed.

- Those branches which are only to be found in this repository carry no value anymore - most branches have been long gone merged into master and release/2.x branches.

- Exceptions of not merged branches:

- `feat_passtos` (based on v2.2_beta) and needs to be reworked to be relevant again. Considering the interest for this feature has been mostly lacking, dazo does not consider this important enough to keep around.

- `feat_vlan_tagging` (builds on feat_passtos) which also needs massive rework. This feature has received a few more requests over the years on the ML, but no-one has taken responsibility to care or push for this feature. This patch-set consists of 16 patches, which in addition needs thorough review. Considering the lack of ownership to these patches and someone really pushing for this to become a reality, plus that it needs a considerable rebase work, dazo is of the opinion to also drop this one. **If** someone is willing to take ownership of this patch-set and we have people willing to review it - it can be prepared in an external git repository before being sent for final review on the mailing list.

- Decommissioning openvpn-testing.git will happen in early January, where the last push to this git tree will be the final OpenVPN v2.4.0 release.

- dazo proposes to run the update-copyright.sh script on master, release/2.3, and release/2.4 branches, updating the copyright year to 2017.

- This should be run before the v2.4.0 release goes out.
