Yeah, that's what I've been saying for ages now. If Karsten still has
his SWARM, I'd say he should give it a more active developer who's
interested in working on SWARM support (Aurelien Jarno or Thomas
Bogendoerfer maybe).
But I consider SWARM completely broken. I doubt the kernel works and
debian-installer is probably completely broken too because nobody has
tested it in years. d-i support for the BigSur never worked, although
it's still there. I think d-i support for SWARM and BigSur should be
removed unless something is willing to fix it.
