New description:

 Did you know there is a directory SAGE_ROOT/examples?   Do you care?
 Because if nobody seriously cares, I'm going to *delete it* from future
 versions of Sage, since it is still a mess, and the last nontrivial commit
 was 1.5 years ago (!):
 {{{
 changeset:   158:d18dad210d3b

 }}}
 I can put the same directory online somewhere, and move the fortran file
 that is used in one doctest out.  I'm just really curious if anybody knows
 about this directory and cares.

 '''Apply''':
   1.  [attachment:trac_7494.patch]

 '''Release Manager'''

 Delete {{{$SAGE_ROOT/examples}}} as part of this ticket.

Comment:

 Trash it.  There's too much old misleading stuff about as is.

 I renamed the examples directory, applied the patch, ran tests and got no
 failures.

 I guess we need to alert the release manager somehow to actually delete
 the directory in the next distribution?  I'll put a note above, edit as
 necessary.
