I would think there might be applications that currently depend on
these
scripts. They would break if the scripts are removed.

It's a point...Although I always thought of the scripts as more of a
'sample' type file, I would expect a production application to need
additional things, like their own jars, additional settings and the
like, and/or have the jars in another place than the derby-home dir as
indicated by the scripts...

I agree with Oystein. I do think there are customers who use these
scripts--they are not just viewed by everyone as sample files. I also
think that it's very common to have a bin directory that contains
scripts like these. In particular, I believe that users expect to see a
startserver script or executable in a bin directory. My opinion is that
we keep the scripts (with appropriate clean up), but move them to a bin
directory under DERBY_HOME where they will be easier to find.
