[7u-communication] Hg forest summer clearing

[Volker Simonis]

Hi Dalibor,

why do we need to remove these repositories? Are we really that short
of disk space?

I don't have any concrete use case for keeping the mentioned forests
but sometimes it may come in handy to browse the history of old
releases. If I remember right I used jdk7u-osx several times during
our PPC/AIX port. That's also the reason I'd like to keep our old
PPC/AIX integration forests although they are read-only. They contain
other change sets and comments compared to the changes which were
finally integrated into the main repositories.

So if there are no strong arguments for deleting them I'd prefer to keep them:)

Regards,
Volker
