[equinox-dev] code cleanup/performance

[Jeff McAffer <Jeff_McAffer@xxxxxxxxxx>]

M8 is fast approaching.  The goal
for the remaning time should be functional completeness on as many fronts
as possible.  We need to wrap things up, pin them down or decide not
to do them.  

In the week following M8, I propose
that we do a systematic scrubbing and sanity checking of all the code from
startup.jar up to runtime.compatibility.  This includes things like
- performance
- data structures
- removing all deprecated, dead, code
and fields
- scanning all TODOs and doing them
- ensure logging is correct/adequate
- etc etc.

Doing this early in M9 allows us to
discover any major issues as well as setting the stage for decreasing code
changes as we approach M9.
