Those examples and features should still exist but in a batteries included version The lite version is just for those who want the simple basic search feature.
More than 70% of solr these days is indexing strategy or client libraries, rather than search. These are important, but are now beginning to clutter things up for deployment. It would be good to offer a lite version for those that are just upgrading, and a simple target to build a lite-example for those hacking away on the code or distributing a example version.
