A few years ago I read about an information based perpetual motion

By applying this "green svn" energy saving principle we have an
unparalleled opportunity to assure that future visitors to our svn
repo will have no way of finding the live code.
OR...
we could clean up the leftovers from completed refactoring efforts
and releases.
Here's the stuff I have located in a quick scan that I think has
more recent versions elsewhere or is completely obsolete and can be
removed, organized by last committer:
pmcmahan:
plugins/activemq
plugins/console
plugins/debugviews
plugins/jee-management
plugins/plancreator
plugins/pluto
plugins/system-database
These plugins were created at that location as a result of our
discussions about organizing the various source trees.

But then later we copied those plugins into server/trunk in order to
make releasing 2.1 easier:

The only value I can think of in keeping those plugins around would
be if we want to use their svn & maven structuring to implement the
ideas we had discussed in the first thread. I won't be up to that
task in the foreseeable future, so I'm fine with removing them unless
someone else wants to start that effort back up again.
Best wishes,
Paul
