Please can you remind me what your motivation is here, just cleaning up
detritus or are some of these bindings actively hindering work you are
doing? Or are they known to be broken?
If it's just tidying up and not getting in your way then I'm not sure this
is worth the effort, but to answer your question above:
IMHO (and other tools maintainers may disagree) ones which are truly to the
best of our knowledge unused, yes. "To the best of our knowledge" probably
involves some due diligence and fair warning first.
It would be best to announce the intention on xen-devel in a mail with a
subject ("Intention to deprectate and remove some Python libxc bindings)
which will garner sufficient attention (i.e. not below a patch posting
thread) and Cc anyone who we think might be using the interfaces (Andy,
Zhigang, the chap from invisible-things who spoke up recently in a similar
thread if not this exact one).
It is probably worth cross posting to xen-users to get input from there.
Ian.
