   > As for the `dev/benchmark` directory, obviously noone has been working on 
it for years, and we have our own benchmarking solution now. So it would only 
be useful for historical purposes. If this was already a page in the Sphinx 
docs it would be easy to move it around and still keep it visible, but as a 
directory lying around in a random place it doesn't strike me as terribly 
useful. @nealrichardson @amol- What do you think?
   
   Not that I have much context in detail, but in general I think that the 
repository should reflect how things currently work and any code/docs that 
doesn't apply to current state of the system is distracting or misleading for 
people having to understand the codebase. 
   
   Keeping historical knowledge is usually the purpose of the versioning 
system, so maybe we can delete the directory and add to the current 
benchmarking code (in a README or similar) a note that is based on the old code 
with a link to the revision that provides the old code.
