Uwe Schindler commented on LUCENE-5918:
---------------------------------------

In adddition this folder may confuse users looking for the new backward-codecs.jar file. This is why I want to remove it, too.

> We used this folder in older times to place older JAR files from previous Lucene version there to run our tests against those (to detect binary backwards breaks).
> We no longer do this since Lucene 4, so let's remove the whole folder. Currently it only contains a README.txt.
> This issue will remove the folder and fix smoker to not expect this directory in source tree.
> Any comments before I do this change?
