[LEDE-DEV] iperf unmaintained

[Bert Vermeulen]

Hi all,

The iperf package appears to be unmaintained, the maintainers directing 
people to iperf3 instead (see https://sourceforge.net/projects/iperf/).

There is a fork of the original iperf package that's seeing some 
maintenance, named iperf2: https://sourceforge.net/projects/iperf2/

However iperf3 is in LEDE as well, and works perfectly fine. It is a full 
code rewrite of iperf, and appears to be (mostly?) cmdline-compatible.

I see no reason to keep both: iperf3 is the better project here.

Does anyone have a compelling reason to keep iperf around? This would mean 
switching to the iperf2 project -- either way the original needs to go.
