Hi everyone,

In our effort to clean and maintain the autotest code base, we've been
looking at making the web interface to use the latest stable versions of
each core component. The first stage of this work went upstream this
Monday.

Now, one thing that was brought into our attention that gwt-incubator is
a deprecated piece of code, so myself and Cleber started to look at
getting rid of its dependency.

While doing that we realized that the planner frontend is the only
frontend that does require the incubator. Now, I remember clearly that a
while ago, Greg mentioned that there are no more plans of finishing
planner, and some different route was chosen to attend his team's needs.
Right now planner is an unfinished piece of software.

Given that it's unfinished and there are no plans to finish it, my
proposal is to remove it from the autotest tree. The plan is:

1) Remove gwt frontend code
2) Remove django app and models
3) Plan a migration removing planner related tables
4) Of course, a lot of testing and certifying we've done it right :)

I am sending this to people that might have a word to say about it.
Meanwhile, we'll start working on it.

Cheers, thanks for your attention!

Lucas
