[Xerte-dev] Re: Outstanding stuff

As far as I am concerned, there should only be ONE place. I don't care 
where it is, the pageWizards or the runtime, but not BOTH. That's a 
nightmare. So, yes, I propose to declare the pageWizards folder as 
deprecated. If it were up to me, I would delete it from svn (you can 
always go back by checking out the correct revision). In that way in a 
clean, new checkout, you would not see the pageWizards folder anymore.

Having it in 'runtime' clearly has benefits over having the files in 
pageWizards.
