The proposal is not to move it anywhere, just designate it as dormant so people know no one is currently working on it. Honestly, it is basically *acknowledging* its currently dead state. If you intend to work on it, you can commit to the svn file hen posted top of this thread. If you disagree with the whole idea of designating things as dormant, you can state that here. I don't get the awfulness of saying something is dormant. Says nothing about the quality or usefulness or whether someone might pick it up later - just nobody is working on it now.
