[ckan-dev] formalchemy still here?

Wed Jun 26 10:17:57 UTC 2013

Can anyone explain the continued existence[1] of formalchemy in master
CKAN? It looks like Toby did some of the removing of it last October,
but there are still a few references. It seems an unnecessary
dependency - is there any logic to keeping it?
