Leaving it in the hg history is actually better than moving it to a
separate repo.  If it's in the history, then you've got all the
context -- that changeset (or the one before) was once a known-good
set of sources.  You could use it to port the driver (with all the
changesets since) to a new system if needed.

If you put it out on the island of misfit toys, then it loses that
good context.

So, delete away, good riddance, and all that.

(The ones to be concerned about are the ones that were deleted before
we open-sourced the code.  They're dead and gone with little or no
hope of being rescued.)
