Did not look but I would not be surprised if others do it. At the same
time, this proposal is very sensible given the current situation of the
Hawkular org. I would not have proposed this if it did not make sense, so
whether other orgs do the same is not very important.

Keeping 30 repositories in an org with fewer active contributors than
repositories makes thinks confusing (priorities, importance, relevance,
focus). Rather than taking the drastic step of purging repositories, this
is a good approach to still have code that was developed for reference
purposes or to restart development if needed.

As I said before, marking a repository as 'obsolete' is really strong
compared to moving it to a sister org. And letting repositories drop to the
bottom does not resolve potential confusion. I  see a new org with clear
mission a much much better approach.
