What to do about eclipse?
=======
Issue is eclipse is not being maintained upstream and is rather hard to maintain
Server team uses eclipse for ldap management
Decision:
Keep in Ubuntu while it remains in Debian, drop if debian drops it
Action:
David - contact qa team for how to handle responses about lack of
updates to motivate community rather than frustrate users
how can we encourage community or upstreams to step forward?
