Yeah, I dunno... I feel like I just create work for myself to 
procrastinate actually writing code...

Yeah, I was thinking about that, too.  "Obsolete" sounds kinda... mean?

Hmm, maybe.  We currently have 3 bindings, which isn't a whole lot for a 
repo, but...

(Heh, whoops, correct my quote... xfce3, not xfce4, of course.)  I think 
a special repo just for xfce3 is fine, esp since it's read-only at this 
point and wouldn't require any admin overhead.  If someone ever did want 
to start maintaining it again, having its own repository makes sense.

Personally I prefer repos to be relatively 'flat', so I'd sooner create 
a new repo than a subdir, but I'm not sure about that.
