Steven Rowe commented on LUCENE-2981:
-------------------------------------
FYI, LEGAL-82 includes mention of Lucene's dependency on a Berkeley DB lib; on
that issue, Sam Ruby says, in answer to the question of the legitimacy of
dependency on BDB (along with other "Category X" works): "the short answer is
no".

> Some of our contribs appear to be lacking for development/support or are
> missing tests. We should review whether they are even pertinent these days
> and potentially deprecate and remove them.
> One of the things we did in Mahout when bringing in Colt code was to mark all
> code that didn't have tests as @deprecated and then we removed the
> deprecation once tests were added. Those that didn't get tests added over
> about a 6 mos. period of time were removed.
> I would suggest taking a hard look at:
> ant
> db
> lucli
> swing
> (spatial should be gutted to some extent and moved to modules)
