Hi,

Sorry for the late reply. For tacker, it can be dropped because it only 
used in some few tests and the features itself of the tests have been 
deprecated. On the other hand, I'm not sure for heat-translator but it 
can be also dropped considering takcer's parspective scarcely depends on 
the feature. Anyway, I would like to have a discussion in tacker's IRC 
meeting before making the decision.

Thanks,
Yasufumi
