AGUTeX was not discussed yet, did I miss a +1?

There are just 3 new styles and not any removed one. So instead of
literally copying the layout, we can Input agutex.layout and use just 46
lines of code instead of 268.


But more importantly: agutex2015.cls is obsolete: I checked for the class
file, found the LyX wiki and there two links called
"guidelines"
http://publications.agu.org/author-resource-center/text-requirements/latex-guidelines/
and "LaTeX-package"
http://publications.agu.org/files/2015/10/agutex2015.zip

However, on the first URL, there is a link called
"zip file"
https://publications.agu.org/files/2016/03/AGUJournal_Feb18_2016.zip
which downloads a package with the AGU template, AGU style file, and AGU
template as a PDF.

This package contains the file "agujournal.cls" which announces itself as

\def\currversion{Feb 18, 2016}

and seems to replace agutex2015.cls:

   \def\currversion{July 3, 2015}
   %\def\currversion{Feb 9, 2008}

I believe, 

* there is no point in providing a new layout for an obsoleted class file,

* it is too late to create and test a new layout for agujournal.cls to go
  into 2.2.0
  
* as they renamed the cls file, we need a new layout -> this can go into
  2.3.x and be backported to 2.2.1


I suggest to revert the agutex2015 commit.
