Thinking about removing BoltDB support - any objections?

[hairyhenderson]

Hello gomplate users! 👋

When the initial BoltDB datasource was added in gomplate, it wasn't to fill an actual need, but more because libkv (which we're using for the consul datasource) made it fairly easy to add support.

Fast-forward 4 years, and other than in my own testing I've never heard of anyone using it, and frankly it's a bit of an odd datasource. I'd like to remove support in an upcoming major version of gomplate (i.e. v4.0).

The main reason is that I'll be migrating all datasource reads to my go-fsimpl module, and I'm not planning on adding BoltDB support to that.

So, if anyone out there is reading this, I would love to know:

• have you ever used gomplate's BoltDB datasource, or do you know anyone who has?
• if you are currently using it - is it critical to your operation such that you couldn't migrate to a different datasource?

Having heard nothing, I'll be removing it in #1397 - this will go into the 4.0.0 release
