Aaron LaBella commented on SOLR-11694:
--------------------------------------
I'm confused... since when does a feature require the "committers" of a project
to actually use it. I thought the point of open source and a product /
features overall was to provide value to the actual "users" of it. And for
what it's worth, I've personally provided a few patches to te Solr UIMA project
over the past couple years. I think there is a misconception to it "rotting"
away. There was nothing to upgrade or maintain because the feature works
exactly as it was designed and written to work. Again, I've never heard of a
feature being completely removed like this when you have real users out there
that are dependent upon it.

> brought up the fact that IBM has bought Alchemy and keys are no longer

> Someone recently made a [similar

> I know next to nothing about UIMA, but figured it's worth an issue to
> determine what to do here. I think folks are saying it's no longer usable? Or
> maybe only usable by people who already have keys (which will possibly expire
> at some point)?
> Anyone have an idea what needs to be done here? It seems we should have some
> kind of answer, but if it's no longer usable perhaps we should retire the
> contrib.
