Removing dead-unused code is a common practice. If the code is used that changes the equation. My impression from Drew's original post and his followup response, was that he did not know of anyone actively using it. Therefore it would be dead-unused code.

I, too, am wondering why you want to remove it. Very simple portlets
might not require regular commits. What is the motivating rationale?

We use the Bookmarks Portlet at UPMC.
Why remove a Jasig Sponsored Portlet that works instead of trying to
update or enhance it ?

We use the Bookmarks portlet, but could download and deploy the code
separately.
This might be worth posting on the uportal-user list to ask the
broader user audience.

Subject: [uportal-dev] Take BookmarksPortlet out of 4.1?

Hey folks,

Would anyone object to removing (de-bundling) the BookmarksPortlet for
the upcoming 4.1 release?

We have largely moved away from portlets that start out blank and
require users to do data entry -- which is what Bookmarks is.
Meanwhile we're building & bundling more and more compelling portlets,
which gradually increases to build times and needs for PermGen space.

Bookmarks hasn't received commits since Feb 2012.  I think we're
better off trimming it for the next release.
