In the past we've generally marked something as outgoing for a
release, and then actually removed it in the next, or something
roughly like that, to give people some warning in case someone wants
to step up and maintain the code.  On the other hand, I think GDB's
policies have accumulated a lot of dead weight over the last few
years; some existing practices are more trouble than they're worth, in
my opinion.

So I'm not sure it's deathly important to do a staged phase-out of the
nlm directory.  But I'd like to see some other maintainers' opinions
on it, so that we're making a deliberate choice as a group about how
to handle these cases.
