CRS dev retreat is happening partially within the OWASP Project summit in Center Parcs. More information in the website https://owaspprojectsummit.org/
⚠️ We need to decide which discussions/projects are the ones to focus on the developer retreat, so go to the 2024 retreat topics and add your 👍 to the topic you would like to work while there. Or propose yours! Deadline will be Oct 20th so we can have the agenda filled before our issues chat.

Project discussions and decisions
Proposal: move code utils out of the main repo, and any documentation to the docs. For tools, we cannot test them properly, and they are related but they could be siblings to other major tools like ftw or the toolchain. Other stuff should be in the docs.
When should we / do we want to: retire old CRS rules/detections
We could have a full discussion/workshop about this at the dev retreat, if we need more time than 1 meeting (or if this is controversial).
This was briefly discussed at a previous meeting. The general consensus was that we want to actively retire old rules/detections.
After the original discussion: a comment from a Coraza developer re: a report that old vulnerabilities are much more actively exploited and problematic than new vulnerabilities.
Occasionally, there are other reports / conference talks etc. that share the experience that very old vulnerabilities (10-15+ years old) continue to be actively exploited and still cause real world problems. Consider also: legacy systems (plenty of these still in prod.), systems/devices that cannot be updated (lots of IoT endpoints, embedded devices, etc.).
The question here is: Do we definitely want to start removing old detections? Is this wise?
Possible ideas:
Metadata: tag old rules/detections (e.g. 'old-vuln', 'discovered-2011', etc.). Old detections are on by default, can easily disable if desired (if user doesn't care about old vulns. and wants maximum performance)
Plugin: move old rules/detections to an optional plugin. Old detections are off by default, can add old rules if desired (most users will not do this, so the detections are mostly lost).
