Basically, this is the right time for the cleanup. The main problem is that CI still hasn't been updated (issue to follow is: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-20385 ), so the trunk CI build will break for the time being. This is "fine" as far as I am concerned since there are now the test runs from github. Also the 9 branch CI is not affected. Comments ? Rémy
