There was a problem hiding this comment.
Fine with me. I never needed this. Maybe we should discuss this a bit more widely. Maybe call out this PR on the forum?

…ted) The Analyze Object Map .obj format is a legacy format from the late 1990s/2000s era of Mayo Clinic's Analyze software. ITKAnalyzeObjectMap is essentially the only open-source reader/writer for it. The small residual user base of Analyze software (AnalyzeDirect commercial product) works inside that environment and is unlikely to need ITK's reader. No other major open-source imaging package — Slicer, SPM, FreeSurfer, FSL, AFNI — supports the format. The remote module has been maintained at minimum level (CI green, ITK 5.x API updates), but has zero stars, no releases, and the underlying format has been superseded. Effectively dormant; users with legacy Analyze Object Map data should convert to NIfTI label maps once and move forward. This commit drops the remote-fetch declaration so the format is no longer reachable via -DModule_AnalyzeObjectLabelMap. The upstream repository at InsightSoftwareConsortium/ITKAnalyzeObjectMap remains read-accessible for anyone needing the historical reader. Refs InsightSoftwareConsortium#6160.

Drops the
AnalyzeObjectLabelMapremote-module declaration from ITK without ingesting the upstream into the source tree. Rationale and migration guidance in #6160 (this comment).Why archive instead of ingest

No Phase B ingestion-archival run is needed since nothing is being ingested into ITK proper — this is pure remote-module removal.
