The organization and packaging model was changed as part of
the 2.0 release, resulting in the jsk-*.jars. If I recall, there was
some documentation provided with the release that described
the details, as well as the motivation for the change.
The intent at the time, was to not force folks to migrate their
existing apps and scripts until they had had some time to get their
heads around 2.0; after which, the obsolete/deprecated jars -- such
as jini-core.jar, jini-ext.jar, and sun-util.jar -- would be removed.
Unfortunately, various events occurred which either distracted
or prevented the team from doing so.

I've been waiting to pose the question about just what should we be
keeping. Considering our resources, I believe we need to refactor /
clear out any crud going forward.
The old jar's are easily removed, but what about obsolete / duplicate
interfaces, any suggestions?
Do we need to continue supporting rmic stubs? Should we remove
facilities for RMI communication other than those utilised through JERI?

Peter.
