Hi Jason Doing some house cleaning among our plugins is a good thing, and I'm in favor of retiring those that we feel that we cannot support.
However it is not OK for you to go changing things in Subversion less than an hour after your proposal (which wasn't even labeled as one). That is not the way we do business here. For starters, people are on different time zones. Secondly I feel that retiring a plugin is something that should require a vote. Finally moving the stuff around in Subversion will break links from the plugin sites and a lot of other places. Please restore things in Subversion to how they were.
