Retire feature application builder

[Carsten Ziegeler <cz...@apache.org>]

Hi,

the feature applicationbuilder module [1] steams from an old, discarded 
idea.

It hasn't been maintained for a while and is not needed.

I think we should retire it. What is the process for that ?
As we never released it, we can probably just delete it?


Regards
Carsten

I don't think we have a process since we moved to Git.

I think it's OK to delete it - as it stands it's a single class and
most of the functionality has been moved elsewhere. Another option is
to mark the repository as deprecated using labels - see [2] - and
asking INFRA to mark it as archived. But I'm not sure that it's worth
it.

Thanks,
Robert

I forgot about this one, but now I created an ask to remove this unused 
repository:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-20032

Thanks Bertrand

I plan to get it removed, unless someone objects. This reduces the 
number of our repositories :)

In case you decide to keep it but mark it deprecated (I have no
opinion on that myself) I have moved the documentation of the
deprecating procedure discussed at few months ago at
https://sling.apache.org/documentation/development/deprecating-sling-modules.html
