I have to admit that I have troubles to take a decision for this case.
If we are going to remove gridengine, then I'd remove logol as well
because:
a) I don't know if releasing w/o DRMAA support in logol makes much sense.
   Does it?
 
Yes it does. Logol works in local mode or drmaa mode. Here we just remove the drmaa mode. 

b) It was not part of past stable releases.
 
As it did not exist before, it could not be in previous stable releases....

c) I am not comfortable with the introduced changes to remove DRMAA support.
I am the author of the software, so I can tell you changes are fine. We just remove the drmaa support option. 

Also, I wonder if it is a good time to remove gridengine at all. It is
not like it needed many updates in stable or oldstable to worry about it.
My preference would be to keep gridengine and not bother ourselves.
 
Keeping gridengine would be fine for me  ;-)
But the bug causing the gridengine removal (and consequently logol) contains quite a lot of discussions already. It seems that current release contains security issues and maintenance issues.

Any other opinions from the team?
