It is within our interest that we:

• Reduce the number of Bob packages
• Drop old legacy code that is no longer used
• Drop C++ code as much as possible
• Drop packages where their functionality exists elsewhere

I propose to deprecate and drop the following packages:

• bob.buildout
• bob.blitz
• bob.core
• bob.io.base
• bob.io.image
• bob.io.video
• bob.io.audio
• bob.math
• bob.db.base
• bob.db.iris
• bob.db.mnist
• bob.db.atnt
• bob.sp
• bob.ap
• bob.ip.base
• bob.ip.color
• bob.ip.gabor
• bob.ip.qualitymeasure
• bob.learn.linear
