This seems strange: libksysguard already was available with version
5.24.4 in impish (> 5.22) is available as 5.25.4 in the KDE git repos
and seems to be actively receiving commits there with a recently tagged
5.24.90 version. Incidentally 5.25.4 is what
arch/manjaro/opensuse/fedora distribute.

Apart from that the actual issue is that there are plasma widgets that
*need* some ksysguard support, among which "System Load Viewer" is
probably the most popular. Apart from the fact that widgets using
ksystemstats cannot replace it yet, the major issue is that if you have
that installed then without any ksysguard support the 20.04 -> 22.04
upgrade is KO. Plasma crashes on login start with widgets expecting
ksysguard support and not finding them.

This is not happening in any of the above mentioned
arch/majaro/opensuse/fedora distros.

So, I think it is perfectly OK to retire the ksysguard front end, but
the backend support should IMHO be retained as long as there are widgets
or application software relying on it. Widgets are particularly critical
because of how they are implemented in plasma. If they miss something
the whole plasma crashes which is a real showstopper.
