I am not against "deprecating" the targets (instead of removing them), and this is actually what we will probably end up doing. By the way I agree with Pierre here on the general idea that the OFBiz trunk should be free to evolve without the burden of external sites and backward compatibility. We already guarantee backward compatibility at the major release level: users using 10.04 will be sure that they can migrate from 10.04.X to 10.04.Y without issues. Our main focus, when we work on the trunk should be that of improving the quality of the trunk; please also consider that a change in the trunk, with the current release schedule doesn't go into a release before about 12 to 24 months... plenty of time for websites to take updates and for publishers to issue a reprint :-)
