Deprecated modules in extra-addons?

Hello Alejandro,

Some of us think it's better not to remove modules from the extra-addons in
the wild because some implementations in production on 6.0 or 6.1 may still
depend on these modules and may be don't want to bother updating their bzr
branches and take risks to update with important changes being made.

Instead, we think it' better to just let the extra-addos die from the 7.0
series and onward. Let good modules be extracted in separate branches
preserving history using https://launchpad.net/bazaar-extractor and then
evolved to newer versions. And get rid of the weakest modules, there isn't
big moral issues with that with software ;-)

Now, may be that branch could be flagged as deprecated. I think only
OpenERP SA can do that. You can die crying for it, may be they hear you,
may be not.

Regards.
