[all] Marking components as inactive

(From the Jelly thread)

With Jelly as an first use case I'd like to propose a process for
marking a component as inactive. Said process being:

1) Vote on commons-dev. 7 days minimum (though there's no real rush).

2) Make inactive:
  a) remove from trunks-proper
  b) Update the homepage to say "Not Actively Maintained"
  c) Update the Commons homepage to put this into a release
subcategory of "Not Actively Maintained"
  d) Put said N.A.M. note on the JIRA page.

This is very close to the process Taglibs have used (with a much
looser step #1 as we know there are only 4 people there :) ), though
there they are deprecated rather than not actively maintained.

trunks-proper = externals *nod* Basically pulling out of our 'active'
development set. The same way that active branches should be in the
trunks-proper.

What does your last line mean?

Henry,

I'm not opposed to such a process for Jelly.

One important point is that migrating from and to N.A.M. is relatively  
flawless.

What does imply "remove from trunks-proper", just an externals?
If yes I would have no big problem.

Please note that making the docu reasonable is a bit more important  
than retiring for jelly according to my eyes.

This seems a good process.
