We should also define what the quorum is. PMC call is not precise since the
number of attendees differs.

I haven't had a chance to bring this up in a recent PMC call, but I added a
section to the platform porting guide for "upcoming" deletions according to
our API deprecation policy. Please take a look at it in and let me know if
you think of any needed changes (available in this week's I-builds). I
added two entries partly as an exercise at writing what I think entries
should look like as an example for others. We can discuss those two
specific deletions at an upcoming call.

The next question is what the process should be for developers who want to
add entries to this list. My opening proposal is that we should have quorum
agreement on deletions within the PMC because it is quite a significant
change (rather than +1 from any single PMC member). So, I suggest a process
such as:

1) Developers send request to eclipse-pmc mailing list
2) We discuss and come to agreement on a PMC weekly call
3) Wider announcement of deletion (update deprecation comment, entry in
porting guide, announce on wider mailing lists)

How does that sound? Should we also require a bug report to track the
change?
