• remove all CPP-prefixed categories in Parsoid

Cannot remove components when there are still tickets in there (however I could close them for new bug entry).
What should happen to the 5 tickets in there? Move to "General"?

• remove the JS prefix from the remaining ones

Alright, renaming is easy.

• combine JS/General and General in the process

That will create about 100 bugmails, but I'll mass-add some comment so you can filter your mail on that.

Yes, I can then see if there is still anything useful there.

Maybe rename the more popular category then and move the others into the new 'General'. Mails are fine.

Alright,

Moved 104 tickets from "JS/General" to "General" (114 tickets).

Killed component "JS/General".

Removed "JS/" prefixes from component names

JS/DOM
JS/serializer
JS/tests
JS/token-stream transforms
JS/tokenizer

Remaining 5 CPP* tickets moved to "General" and removed components:
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?bug_id=37838,40243,43029,39160,39286
Note that only bug 39160 was still open, the other 4 were closed.

Killed components

CPP/DOM
CPP/General
CPP/serializer
CPP/tests
CPP/token-stream transforms
CPP/tokenizer

Done. For an overview, see https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/report.cgi?y_axis_field=component&query_format=report-table&product=Parsoid&j_top=AND&f1=noop&o1=noop&v1=&format=table&action=wrap

Closing as FIXED, if anything else is needed please add a comment.
