There are some other OUs with the same format which are not projects: cn=committers,member,people (possibly others) I assume those will be kept as is, at least for now. > > I’d like to schedule this deletion for 9 February 2019 at approximately 1400 > UTC.

There are some references in Whimsy which need to be removed. I don't know what PonEE uses (they don't use the the PonyMail sample code AFAIK) mail-private uses ou=groups,dc=apache,dc=org but only for members and committers It looks like projects.ao and reporter.ao use Whimsy json data for projects The phonebook (home.a.o) uses Whimsy data only. > The old groups are so far out of date that I’d expect any problems to have > surfaced by now, but one can never be too sure .. The discrepancies are shown by this Whimsy report: https://whimsy.apache.org/secretary/ldap-check (takes a while to run) This shows that the main groups that will be potentially adversely affected are: security: +=striker; -=marc,hbedi,ged tac: -=mbenson,darshankumar,gsaini,issac Various other groups will gain owners i.e. people with PMC karma I assume these are the out of date ones to which you are referring. I've emailed TAC about the issue, but AFAIK it has yet to be resolved. > Thoughts on the deletion date and general availability?
