Delete works for me, and announce it on mailing list and website

There is a big distinction between merging projects and packaging/releasing 
them together.
I don't agree with merging projects, keep them separate, look at the 
consequences of merging Core + DictionaryAdapter + DP2 for Transactions,
The Transactions project was only dependent on Core and now it has to reference 
all that dead weight.
Also, for releases is a PITA, because we now have to have more releases (3 
projects into 1 = more releases = constant updates  = unhappy users) and also 
again Transaction has to be released even if all the fixes in Core were 
actually just fixes to DP2 or DictionaryAdapter (which in my opinion tend to be 
updated a lot more frequent than the original Core).
So "minimize the administrative overhead", for who?

Assuming we go ahead with these "merges",
How about the packaging of the software?
eg:
Transactions + ATM is now all in one package, all binaries would be in the bin 
folder in zip file
User only wants to use Transaction, what assemblies does the user need to 
reference?
Definetly not Windsor, but wait Windsor is in the bin folder.

So we need to document all this, maybe a readme file.


As I previously stated, in my opinion, "integration projects" should be 
managed/updated by both project leader and released by either one if one of the 
projects gets updated.
The solution is not merging, but better releasing.


Just my 2cents
John

I'm wondering about people using ActiveRecord and or
Services.Transactions which would not like to depend on Windsor ? is
it something we should take care of?

> what do you think we should do about "dead" repositories?

emptying them and just leave a readme with follow-up note :

"""
Castle.DynamicProxy has been merged into Castle.Core, please find
latest version of Castle.Core at http://github.com/castleproject/Castle.Core
"""
