The main goal for the clean up is to reduce amount of code users will download and a step towards reducing our build time.
Some of these modules (e.g assembly-java-dsl, implementation-openjpa) have been in trunk for a very long time without anyone really using or maintaining it, and keeping them on a contrib directory would not help achieve any of the cleanup goals. Also, if anyone is interested, these code are available in multiple release branches and svn is very powerful to allow anyone to recover them with a single command. As for the deprecation, +1 to continue discussion the other thread.
