Antler Deprecation Feedback Tracker

[bhazzard]

After careful consideration, we have made the decision to deprecate ANTLER Project Tools (aproj) effective immediately.

Context:
ANTLER Project Tools were designed to facilitate the generation, maintenance, building, and testing of smart contracts for Antelope blockchains. However, the toolset has experienced low adoption. Moreover, the investment of time and resources required to maintain and update these tools has surpassed the tangible benefits they provide to our community.

In line with our commitment to efficiency and maximized impact, we are reallocating our resources towards projects that promise higher engagement and value. We believe this strategic focus will enable us to deliver enhanced services and tools that more closely align with the needs of our broader community.
