---------------------------------------------------------------
Come on, [~karlpauls]. Lets not pretend that "I don't think it is about
limiting somebody" and "it is a question of what users can expect to be able
todo with it" in the same sentence do not directly contradict each other...
[~cziegeler] Are you ultimately suggesting that repoinit should be marked as
deprecated and everything should be migrated (automatically? or manually?) to
sling pipes instead? If so that is a lot more work than what is proposed here.
Also, I haven't looked that closely but I don't think pipes currently provides
100% feature parity or the hooks to run automatically during the repository
initialization.

> Sling Repo Init: Add option to delete paths
> -------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SLING-10136
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-10136
> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Repoinit
> Affects Versions: Repoinit Parser 1.6.4, Repoinit JCR 1.1.30
> Reporter: Henry Kuijpers
> Priority: Major
> Time Spent: 2h
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> Given that we are able to create paths, it would also be beneficial to be
> able to delete paths as well.
> In our case, we're migrating a legacy setup to Sling Repo Init, where there
> are some "leftover" nodes in the instances. Given that Sling Repo Init is an
> "admin" way to initialize a repo, it would be very nice if delete statements
> could be supported.
> In our case, we would want to delete /apps/foundation, for example, because
> historically there seem to have been modifications made there.
> This mandates for a simple syntax like "delete path /apps/foundation" being
> supported.
> Another case is that we would like to cleanup /apps/cq, however, there are
> some nodes that are maintained by the product (in our case AEM), such as
> /apps/cq/xssprotection and also /apps/cq/core/content/nav/tools.
> This mandates for a slightly more complicated syntax such as "delete path
> /apps/cq (!/xssprotection,!/core/content/nav/tools,*)", however, I would be
> fine with multiple delete path statements as well, for that usecase.
