alexcrichton opened PR #3390 from rm-lightbeam to main:

This commit removes the Lightbeam backend from Wasmtime as per [RFC 14].
This backend hasn't received maintenance in quite some time, and as [RFC
14] indicates this doesn't meet the threshold for keeping the code
in-tree, so this commit removes it.

A fast "baseline" compiler may still be added in the future. The
addition of such a backend should be in line with [RFC 14], though, with
the principles we now have for stable releases of Wasmtime. I'll close
out Lightbeam-related issues once this is merged.

[RFC 14]: https://github.com/bytecodealliance/rfcs/pull/14

Maybe keep this for in the future if a new backend is added?

This can be added in the future and otherwise I think it would be confusing to have a flag that basically does nothing.
