I know many of you had busy summers and August holidays... just want
to be sure that nobody who wanted to comment has missed discussion
of retiring the Flood subproject.

The only remaining question is do we (httpd PMC) archive this, or do we
hand the baton off to the Attic for this legacy source code?
