Frankendancer client to be deprecated following Solana mainnet Alpenglow upgrade

Jump Crypto's Firedancer team announced that support for the transitional Solana validator client, Frankendancer, will cease once the Alpenglow upgrade is activated on the mainnet. The upgrade is expected to launch in October alongside v4.3. The team stated that the decision was driven by maintenance and security overhead, and they will shift resources to focus on the full Firedancer client.
