Authselect currently ships four profiles local, sssd, winbind and nis. This change suggest removing the nis profile from authselect - it will no longer be possible to configure nsswitch.conf for NIS with authselect using "authselect select nis" but NIS will still be available on the system and users will be able to configure their nsswitch.conf to use NIS with custom authselect profile or manually.

Owners, do not implement this work until the FESCo vote has explicitly ended.
When a FESCo member has marked this ticket as APPROVED, you may proceed with the implementation. See the FESCo ticket policy and the Changes policy for more information.
If no decision has been rendered after 7 days from the filing of this ticket and no indication (such as a -1 vote) that this will be taken up at a FESCo meeting, please feel free to ping for a status update.

REMINDER: This ticket is for FESCo members to vote on the proposal. Further discussion should happen in the Discourse discussion linked above. Additional discussion may happen on the Fedora Devel mailing list.

Hi, thank you for approving it. It looks like the approval was not yet written to the wiki change page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Authselect_Remove_NIS_Profile

It still says ready for fesco and there are no tracking tickets.
