Description

Bindings for pulp are too fragile as they depend on the combinations of pulpcore and plugin versions and even on some settings. So we cannot possibly publish any sort of autogenerated bindings that serves all installations.
We should simply stop publishing them and let users create them for their individual systems. Also we should promote using pulp-glue instead.

Research direction

Start by locating the workflow or release entry point that publishes autogenerated bindings, then review how pulpcore and plugin versions and settings affect them. Check how pulp-glue is currently presented. Done means autogenerated bindings are no longer published and users are directed toward creating bindings for their individual systems and using pulp-glue.
