Remove Rules integration

Version 2.0.x will not provide Rules integration.

Why? I have ported that from D7 and offered it as a patch, because it's all plugins it doesn't affect anything unless you use Rules, so why remove what exists? Why not just commit the fixes?

If […] I am willing to support the Rules integration, why throw away this feature?

Are you willing to support Rules integration? I haven't noticed any such expression of committment, or offer to co-maintain.

Here is why I have decided to ax Rules integration:

1. The decision to move Rules integration from a separate submodule into the main module as part of the upfrade from Drupal 7 was IMHO a bad one, as it made a messy project even more messy. For long time, there was an issue suggesting that it was implemented as a separate submodule – but nobody offered to work on that.
2. There is still no tagged Drupal 10 release of Rules → , making integration with Content Access very difficult to test.
3. The documentation for Rules integration with Content Access were incomplete and made impossible for me to understand what this was supposed to do, or to test what worked and what did not. An issue requesting better documentation was not acted upon.(See the initial version of 📌 Remove help file for "Rules Integrations" Fixed ).
4. I am unable to answer support requests about how to make Rules integration work, and there seems nobody else willing to step forward (as a co-maintainer or otherwise) to provide such support. Offering a "feature" that can not be supported in a meaningful way reflects badly on the projects and its maintainer (i.e. me).
5. This contributed project now exists ECA Content Access → . It has a stable Drupal 10 release and looks like a better option for those requiring support for this use case.

If you want to retain Rules integration, I shall suggest that you follow the example of ECA Content Access and implement Rules Content Access as a separate contributed project. Then this integration will not add to the complexity of Content Access.
