Hi Anil, I agree with the proposed direction and with closing this stale ticket.
That said, in general, I would like to see the community become more proactive around this kind of “stale feature” situation. In particular, it could be valuable to explicitly surface discussions and votes when assessing whether rarely used and/or poorly maintained features should be kept or retired. This would help us systematically decide when to remove functionality from the codebase as part of ongoing housekeeping, reducing maintenance cost and improving the overall quality and focus of OFBiz.
