Hi I have created a ticket to track this https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-4200
We will of course still keep an eye on the discussion and if the balance is tipping in favor of keeping them all, then we wont remove them. Although I wonder if anybody got the strengths and time to go through all 34 examples and ensure the ANT examples works according to the README.txt documentation. We should prefer to keep one ANT example. For example a new hello world example as discussed.
