-------------------------------------

ok there does seem to be some consensus now, thanks guys.

Ryan, can you elaborate on your concerns (reason for your -0)? Maybe there is something we can do to address them.

> Some of our contribs appear to be lacking for development/support or are missing tests.  We should review whether they are even pertinent these days and potentially deprecate and remove them.
> One of the things we did in Mahout when bringing in Colt code was to mark all code that didn't have tests as @deprecated and then we removed the deprecation once tests were added.  Those that didn't get tests added over about a 6 mos. period of time were removed.
> I would suggest taking a hard look at:
> ant
> db
> lucli
> swing
> (spatial should be gutted to some extent and moved to modules)
