Hi Jan Willem, I have done work on the org.apache.ace.log.server.store.mongo and org.apache.ace.nodelauncher in the past. I think both are no longer relevant. The mongo log storage was an idea to use ACE as a central log store for application logs. That didn't work out very well, and I would be surprised if the component is still used somewhere. +1 for removing it.
The nodelauncher was created with the idea to make ACE also a cloud cluster manager. This idea was never implemented beyond the trivial use case of starting single servers, and I think we've moved away from the whole idea a long time ago. So another +1 to remove this component.
