Hi,

I plan to obsolete the Motif library (together with the cde-incorporation)
because it is:

- very old - the package is more than 10 years old
- not maintained - we have no knowledge how to build it (there is no
  build recipe for it in oi-userland)
- not needed - nothing in OpenIndiana depends on it

Namely, the following two packages will be obsoleted:

pkg://openindiana.org/consolidation/cde/cde-incorporation@0.5.11-2013.0.0.0
pkg://openindiana.org/library/motif@0.5.11-2013.0.0.0

If you believe we should not obsolete Motif then please package it and
contribute to oi-userland.  It was open sourced and LGPLed more than 10
years ago.


Thank you.
