Should the GStreamer 1.0 _git.bb recipes be removed?

Should the GStreamer 1.0 _git.bb recipes be removed?

[Carlos Rafael Giani]

Hello,

right now, for each GStreamer 1.0 package, there is a .inc file, a _git 
recipe, and a versioned recipe. The _git recipes made sense when 
GStreamer 1.0 was first introduced, because this happened during the 1.0 
-> 1.2 version change, and 1.2 brought many essential enhancements, so 
many people wanted to build the git version. However, these days, I 
don't think the git versions are in such high demand. As a result, their 
SRCREVs haven't been updated for a very long time.

Since this is pretty much dead, how about removing these recipes?

cheers

I was wondering this just this week and have no objection.
