The answer is off topic, but I'll add a little. 1. Backend. Why you don't need links to other websites: Since you know the structure of your site and content, you can decide for...

Hi Chrys, AI isn't always your best friend. A form alter hook is correct, but hiding by CSS isn't ideal. You could look at how the TinyMCE integration does it, which provides hiding...

The need for a clear AI policy is growing. Please can this be a priority.
If there's some time left in the dev meeting - although it might rather be a topic for the PMC:

We don't seem to have any guidelines or procedures, how to sunset a project.

I second this-- I have a module in contrib now that I just marked as "deprecated", and I removed its sole alpha release (because a fix in Core made it obsolete). Just plain deleting the module isn't an option for me; I didn't know what else to do. I didn't want to take any actions like "archiving" it until I found out if there's an official policy.
