[Bug 1792544] Re: demotion of pcre3 (8.x) a.k.a pcre (without the 3) in favor of pcre2 (10.x)

[ Christian Ehrhardt ]

Summarizing the Server Team related task status for a better overview.

For postfix a discussion existed, and they seem not to have any better tracker set up.
For the others I reported new issues upstream, so that they are aware and we have something to track.
I listed those new ones after "---".

  'Incomplete'.

  aide

  For clarification: pcre2 is actually newer than pcre3.  pcre3 is just
  poorly named (according to jbicha).
