!Friendica Support I had a look at the number of posts that arrive at my servers that are transported via DFRN our legacy protocol. It is not used anymore and there are no servers out there anymore that can't speak AP or the Diaspora protocol. So I really think that we should remove that protocol stack now.

Are there any objections? The benefit would be that there is less code to refactor in our regular refactor cycles.

Friendica verwendet ActivityPub und macht damit alles. DFRN war mal unser primäres Protokoll, aber seit mehr als 6 Jahren wird es als primäres Protokoll für die Kommunikation zwischen Friendica-Installationen verwendet.

No objections! In fact, it seems like a really great idea: simplifying and streamlining is always advisable.
But, I wonder, will the distribution of outgoing messages based on circles work even without DFRN? And didn't private messages between Friendica users also depend on DFRN? How will they work from now on?
So, what are the things we should give up when we don't have DFRN?

We do everything via ActivityPub. DFRN is only used when the remote server doesn't seem to support ActivityPub. This means that we don't give up anything - except the compatibility with system prior to the end of 2018.
