Just wanted to send a status update... (I use the term 'leader' below in

No reply from any leaders of the community.

2 out of 3 leaders replied and thought it should be removed.

The leaders replied and ask for a stay as they are in the process of 
rolling out new content and utilising their space.

2 of 5 leaders replied and consented to it being cleaned up and 
consolidated into the PowerPC project.
