I think that's essentially going from "bundled" to "unbundled," which
normally requires an actual EOF.

It makes some sense to me, and is certainly much better than outright
removal without a replacement, but I think we'd better get some ARC
members to chime in on whether this is setting precedent for how
previously supported software becomes unsupported and whether giving
this project effectively a waiver is ok.

I'm not too impressed, though, with the business arguments.  Frankly,
the folks who were dumping open source projects into the system years
ago were told -- repeatedly -- that there was always cost involved, and
ARC members were assured that this was known.  Seeing a regression like
this anyway is really unfortunate.
