I’m quite sure those sources are related to GWT, as we known GWT requires
source to transpile.

Need assess the dependency and the feasibility to even remove the GWT

I’m +1 to evaluate all GWT related components removal - we can always
depend on older version while we catchup with new development to replace
those.
