Drop Evolution from RHEL 10
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
 * Evolution was appreciated by customers for its excellent
   Microsoft Exchange support, but Thunderbird's Exchange support
   was subpar, but they're now investing in resolving that
 * Microsoft recently announced that they will only allow Graph API
   for accessing email on Office365 and we don't support it in
   Evolution as of now (this will affect older RHEL releases as well)
 * We cannot justify to maintain 2 separate desktop email clients in RHEL
 * Evolution Data Server will stay as its the integral part of the GNOME
 * Evolution is and will be available on Flathub
 * Removing Evolution will allow us to remove WebKitGTK from RHEL 10

See Red Hat internal https://issues.redhat.com/browse/DESKTOP-797 for more
information.
