Folks, I wrote a short blog about Podman adding a deprecation announcement for CNI plugins. With the success of the new network stack, not only do we eventually want the new stack to be the default but also the only option. For more information, check out the blog post itself: https://blog.podman.io/2023/01/podman-begins-cni-plugins-deprecation/

Right now, the CNI plugins are the only option for networking on FreeBSD. The new stack seems very exciting though and FreeBSD has recently added netlink support so porting it seems quite possible (and is probably a good excuse to learn a bit of rust).

Also didn't want to add a Rust toolchain. But for now using Podman 3.4 will work for a while yet, and I guess it is inevitable considering conmon-rs.... We are not dropping CNI right away, we are just announcing it so that we don't need to ship it in RHEL10 and Fedora 39. So Podman 4.4 and later will continue to have CNI support for a while yet.
