Description

Paperclip is deprecated and unsupported, with ActiveStorage being the recommended substitute.
Although some shops won't have issues in the short term, they will eventually face problems when updating the stack since Paperclip does not support newer versions of Ruby and Rails.
Our major concern is providing users with a solid migration path; however, we cannot see a zero-effort migration.

Research direction

Start by reading Solidus issue #5033, which this roadmap item links for context on Paperclip and migration concerns. Identify the adapter's current location and extension structure before scoping the move; done should mean the Paperclip adapter is isolated in an extension with a viable migration path.
