My method when consensus seems very likely but you want to ensure it's
explicit is to announce you're going to do it in 3 days.

As to the 'it', it means some level of the Attic'ing tasks.

* Definitely should update the website to explain that it's been
retired and why. I don't think this is a case of waiting for community
to show up again (thus why I prefer retired to dormant), we're EOL'ing
the component.

* Should send an email out to commons-user/dev at the very least. Not
sure if we need to email annou...@.

* Make the JIRA read-only.

* Tempted to leave the SVN as is, but make it read-only; rather than
do a move to dormant/. I think we should avoid changing the svn
location of released components.

* Remove from the trunks-proper svn:externals.

* Remove from CI systems + Gump.

I think there are a few others to retire:

# Attributes.
# Discovery
# Modeler (consider)
# Launcher (consider)
# Betwixt (consider)
