Future developers? Code? What are you talking about??? This isn't in the code base, nor is it "code" - it is config options in the private platform files for configuring clusters of contributors. We -never- review what is in that area, leaving it up to their respective owners. The contents of t

No big deal one way or the other. It's a symbolic gesture against bit rot, I suppose. The fact is that there are different pieces of the code base that move forward while vestiges of old stuff get left behind elsewhere. At first, it's easier to leave that stuff in. With time, the history ge

2011-03-10 Thread Eugene Loh
