Marc asked me to sort it along with some other things, but when I spoke
to Barry he didn't want to move. I passed it back to Marc.

Actually, it looks to me like they belong with the JDBC driver.  As long
as JDBC is in the main distro, I think we should leave contrib/retep
there too.

There was some talk of moving JDBC to gborg, but I'm not sure what the
plan is, if any.

Why not?

Feature addition during beta is frowned on, but I never heard anyone say
you couldn't remove features during beta.  (In fact that's a pretty
standard response to serious bugs, no?)

Whether retep *should* be moved is not something I feel qualified to
comment on, but I don't put any stock in an argument that it can't
be done simply because we're in beta.
