I think we just have such stuff in our SVN (I'm partly responsible by
myself for some of them) and I do not really consider this as a problem.
I also do not think that we should create a drafts subhierarchy because
on our web sentinel we are linking sometimes to such packaging efforts.
So moving things around in SVN is not a good idea.
My suggestion would be to keep everything which might be relevant in SVN
but mark it clearly for instance by droping a file (for instance DRAFT)
in the main directory of this package and add a short explanation why
the person who started this draft did not finalised this as a real
package.
In principle we could drop such a file
echo "Did not even found time to write a DRAFT file" > DRAFT
or something like this in any packaging directory which contains never
released packaging stuff to have some consistence.
Kind regards
Andreas.
