It's not hurting anything by being there -- it was just decided to be lifted out in later versions
it does increase the maintenance costs for 1.4. For example, it contains some parts that will require Hadoop version specific updates for ACCUMULO-1792. Since Wikisearch isn't needed to run Accumulo and isn't in the defined client API, why are changes to it considered breaking? Someone have a subject line to help me search the archives for the previous discussion?
