Hello,
I am wondering about the plans regarding the future of the support for uhubctl via USBPowerDriver.
According to this issue, support for all (future) things network PDUs is to be moved to pdudaemon.
When looking at pdudaemon, it becomes appearent that it does not just support network PDUs, but also switchable usb hubs (such as the ykush, as seen in the pdudaemon repo).
Thus, I'd like to clarify whether there are any future plans in regard to the USBPowerDriver (esp. usbhubctl support) in labgrid itself.
Is it a feature that is staying or will it be deprecated in the (near) future?
Thank you for your support and the continued development of labgrid :)

I don't have plans to remove existing drivers, but just to avoid the maintenance overhead of adding new ones.
uhubctl is a bit of a special case, as you'll want to have an exporter for USB devices on those ports anyway. So having that configurable with a single exporter would be preferable to using pdudaemon.
