Sounds good to me.  I¹d +1 a Pull Request freeing uPortal master from
depending on this well-intentioned but ultimately not-worth-its-weight
dependency.  Care to proffer one?

Kind regards,

Andrew

PS: I still favor moving jasig-parent to GitHub.  Retiring SVN has value.
Retiring unneeded stuff as value.  They¹re not incompatible efforts.  Just
Œcuz something is in GitHub doesn¹t mean it has to be alive and under
continued development.
