rt.equinox.security should have been roled up into rt.equinox.bundles.  At
least we moved all the security code into the rt.equinox.bundles repository
and have one commit group for that repository.  So technically it is a
candidate for termination, but the code did not go away.

Personally I would be fine with combining rt.equinox.bundles and
rt.equinox.framework into one project under rt.equinox and leaving
rt.equinox.p2 as the sole subproject.  This means all rt.equinox.bundles
committers would gain commit rights to the rt.equinox.framework repo and
vise-versa.  I'm not sure what to do about rt.equinox.website project.  If
you have an easy way to also combine it into rt.equinox then that is fine.
But we must allow rt.equinox.p2 committers to still have access to the web
site repository.

Others have opinions?

I just noticed that some of the Equinox subprojects do not have any source
repositories listed [1]. In fact, most of them have no metadata specified
at all.

Further, upon inspection, it appears that the rt.equinox.security project
has no resources associated with it (no Git repository, no downloads that I
can detect, no website). Is this project still viable, or is it a candidate
for termination?

The rt.equinox.website project is a hold over from the bad-old-days. Is
that project still required? Can we kill it and assign the website
repository to rt.equinox?

Is it still valuable to have Equinox subprojects at all? Based on the use
of the projects, it seems that the only purpose is to keep the committer
lists distinct. Is this still necessary? AFAICT, only rt.equinox.p2 seems
to be operating as a separate project. Does it make sense to consider
rolling the rest of the projects up into the parent?

Thanks,

Wayne
