we would need to determine which parts are unsupported and remove them.
I don't understand why you want to remove things that are not
actively supported any more? The fact that no-one currently plans to
making changes in those parts doesn't make that they need to be
removed. RSE is a mature project, and in its current state, it
provides satisfaction to some users, and I believe it could easily
keep on providing value without changing a single line of code nor
doing any rebuild. The project is still useful independently of
whether it has active contributors or not.
If it is possible that other active projects (such as TCF and org.eclipse.remote) could be used in place of RSE, maybe it would be better to direct effort towards these?
+1 for focusing on a single project to do one thing, but if RSE is
currently the most advanced on this topic (at least it has FTP/SFTP
support), I don't see the benefit on re-implementing the same thing
in other project, instead of just using what's already there.
