Hi Philippe, My question is not about dropping, it is about usage level we know and _possible deprecating_ based on that. Maintaining code that is barely used could be unnecessary burden for the project.
For example I have feeling that LDAP as protocol should be rarely used in JMeter just because protocol itself is declining (my assumption is based on things like https://trends.google.ru/trends/explore?date=all&q=ldap,oauth,openid or https://www.quora.com/Why-isnt-LDAP-dead-yet) >From your comments I understood that you see interest on SO for all modules except LDAP. This matches my intuitive expectation. Thanks for your analysis on usage of components, it's valuable information for all of us.
