+1 for 1 for the moment, but I'd like to see a 4 in the future. While we're at moving stuff to the contrib/retired, several other plugins are really old as well: adwords and alexa from the xwiki-plugins branch, google, graphviz, svg, test, userdirectory, usertools, PatternPlugin. Some of those are still used in the wild, like the graphviz plugin. > Topic II. > Relation to the platform > 1.bundle it by default > 2.not bundle it by default > > I am +1 for I.2 and II.2 . +1 for 2.
