David Smiley commented on LUCENE-5858:
--------------------------------------
bq. removing old codecs from rotation (but still use the codecs from the
lucene/codecs modules, like SimpleText, etc. which have all codec features)
+1
I don't have a strong opinion wether the old codecs move to some new jar or to
existing codecs.jar. The existing codecs.jar seems simple and sufficient.
Independently (but related) to this matter, I wish a test could articulate what
_capabilities_ (e.g. need doc-values, need missing-value, needs term vectors
with payloads) it _wants_ from the codec versus listing codec names it does
_not_ want. This issue of putting old codecs out of rotation ameliorates the
need for such a feature, but one day there's going to be something new and a
test using it is going to be blacklisting stuff again.

> These take significant space and bloat core lucene. Not everyone needs the
> ability to read ancient indexes (especially building a new app).
> We should move this cruft out of the core/ jar. codecs/ is the obvious place,
> its already setup in the build system for tests and everything else.
