[jbosstools-dev] SVN cleanup of old deprecated projects: drools, labs, profiler, and workingset

[Nick Boldt]

Sometimes the best way to see if something is actually still used / 
needed is to move it and see who screams. :)

Asking in advance often leads to replies like "oh, just leave it, this 
is a bad time for churn"... like every time I've pushed to move a 
project or two to github. :P

Anyway, if you want them back in the root, fine. I Just did a few `svn 
move` commands to move them, so reverting those commits should be safe.

But I have to ask... why are you so attached to code that we don't 
publish? Surely if it's not healthy enough to be pushed to jboss.org as 
part of JBT, it's not worth keeping? And if you'd happily have me delete 
it, then why should I put it back?

*confused*,
