Thanks for this detailed update, Jean-Pierre.
I agree with your changes for AGUTeX since I was familiar with that
particular situation and since we had not decided on the final release
date. As for the other obsolete layout files and classes, now that we
have decided the final release could be in a week or so, I would prefer
to not make those changes at this point. These removals should ideally
be done at the beginning of the release cycle. Further, I'm worried
that we could miss something (e.g. forgetting to change the Make files
or making a typo in the Make files). I'm sorry if it seemed like I gave
the green light to go through all the obsolete layout files. If both you
and Uwe disagree with me and express your disagreement by Monday and you
can complete all of the work by Monday, I could be convinced with these
extra removals. Otherwise, I would suggest going forward with the work
on master.
Thanks for your work on this,
Scott
