Better IMO: remove GPRE (and QLI) from the kits.
I don't really see why we should remove it right now. Firebird still
relies on GPRE for its own build, so in that sense, GPRE isn't
deprecated. And people still use GPRE, so removing it without any form
of heads-up is not good stewardship.
I'd suggest following an explicit deprecation procedure and announce
with Firebird 4 that GPRE and QLI will no longer be included in
distributions starting from Firebird 5. As I'm not sure if QLI still
has any use, we should even consider removing that entirely.
Mark, why continue suggesting to remove gpre after getting explicit
confirmation that our sponsors are still using it?
