libconsensus: deprecate This library has existed for nearly 10 years with very little known uptake or impact. It has become a maintenance burden. In several cases it dictates our code/library structure (for example necessitating LIBBITCOIN_CRYPTO_BASE), as well as build-system procedures (building multiple copies of object files especially for the lib). Several discussions have arisen wrt migrating it to CMake and it has become difficult to justify adding more complexity for a library that is virtually unused anyway. See for example the discussions: https://github.com/hebasto/bitcoin/pull/41 https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/29123 Instead, we (fanquake, hebasto, TheCharlatan, and I) propose simply not migrating it to CMake and letting it end with v27. Any remaining use-cases could be handled in the future by libbitcoinkernel.

libbitcoinconsensus
========================
This library is deprecated and will be removed for v28.
It has existed for nearly 10 years with very little known uptake or impact. It
has become a maintenance burden.
The underlying functionality does not change between versions, so any users of
the library can continue to use the final release indefinitely, with the
understanding that Taproot is its final consensus update.
In the future, libbitcoinkernel will provide a much more useful API that is
aware of the UTXO set, and therefore be able to fully validate transactions and
blocks.
