I've also had some people reach out to me off-list expressing their concerns with it being removed. I am willing to take over all support for users.conf going forward. I can update the module deprecation page¹ indicating I am the maintainer.

I don't have a specific objection against removal, we used this instead 
of dahdi.conf since we could get stuff working for dahdi channels that 
we could not get working in dahdi.conf.

Can't remember the details but it has remained.  Fairly certain that I 
can dig that up again, and either get it migrated or can make a plan to 
get it sorted so that we can support it.

Kind Regards,
Jaco
