The novatel_span_driver appears to have fallen out of favor in the community in favor of novatel_gps_driver which is currently maintained by Southwest Research Institute (https://discourse.ros.org/c/drivers). Development of their driver is more active, it has more features, is more stable, and is easier to change/maintain. What is the feeling among the group about dropping support for the novatel_span_driver and suggesting to SwRI that we move the repo under the ros-drivers group while keeping them as a maintainer?

Given that no new issues have been created on the novatel_span_driver repository for almost a year, it is not compatible with current-gen hardware (OEM7), and there hasn’t been a release since 2018 and no one has requested one, I’m going to archive this repository. I will contact the maintainers of novatel_gps_driver to see if they are interested in moving the driver to the ros-drivers organization.
