We've talked about this for awhile, so now it's time to do it.  As far 
as I know, the PWS (PluggableWebServer) package has been made obsolete 
by newer packages such as Comanche.  Also, it hasn't been maintained 
much, and all the methods are on the class side making it not a very 
good example of OO code.

Note that we're not simply talking about removing it from the current 
image (as has been done with Balloon3D, Scamper, etc.), we want to also 
remove it from the list of "Squeak Official" packages so that it's no 
longer part of the Full release.  So it would be basically unsupported, 
unless someone individually wants to become the maintainer.

Before removing PWS as a "Squeak Official" package, though, I thought 
I'd send out this notice to see if anyone strongly objected.  However, 
please note that if you object to this, you are also registering an 
interest in maintaining the PWS package yourself. :-)

I suppose we could have the Guides vote on this, but if there's no one 
out there who thinks the package should stay as Squeak Official, there's 
not much reason to have a vote.

Also, could someone who is subscribed to the Pws mailing list forward 
this message to that list?
