Yes, that's a good point that it'll always be there for posterity via the git history, although obviously it won't be preserved in a way that's likely to be at all usable (maybe not even recoverable). So if we drop OpenVG, I do think we need to think of it as a irrevocable deletion. > Be polite to remove with one patch and document it. Do you mean, do the entire removal by a single patch, that also adds documentation to e.g. the README? Or do you just mean explain the rationale for the deletion in the changelog entry? Also, are you favoring only the OpenVG deletion or both it and the Skia backend?
