Description

Motivation

I conducted a poll in SUSE QE Tools workshop 2022-01-21 about if people know any test where os-autoinst backends are used and the "backend::amt" came up with 0 matches. Also on OSD I called SQL select * from machines where backend ~ 'amt'; and found no matches. Unless we have significant test code coverage we should mark the amt backend as deprecated and prepare removal because likely no one uses it and it's unlikely to work as expected.

https://app.codecov.io/gh/os-autoinst/os-autoinst shows that the AMT backend is not covered in tests. However it was introduced not that long ago in

I thought it might have been older. So I vote against deprecating and removing it (for now). But we can try to add tests.

PR merged. With this amt is marked deprecated. Whenever enough time has passed and especially if the backend poses a problem for us we can remove it.
