Oh yes, IBM (especially SystemX team) still uses pounder for distro
validation. The thing is we use couple of other customized pounder scripts
in addition to the ones present in the LTP's "pounder21" directory, so
that dependent config files are downloaded & logs are saved from/to our
repo server. Having said that, we still require LTP's "pounder21" tree. So
please DO NOT remove it.
However, I agree that current pounder of LTP has some compatibility
issues, thereby making it difficult to run independently on a stand alone
system. This needs to be addressed and is in TODO list of our new pounder
maintainer "Shubham Goyal ([email protected])".
@Shubham, any comments?
Thanks!

IBM still uses Pounder heavily for testing Distros. So, we can move it
to some other portion of the tree but still should be inside LTP.
