Hi Chesnay,

Yes, you are right. There is not any active commit planned for the legacy Flink-ml package. It does not matter delete it now or later. I will open a PR and remove it.

I believe we can remove it regardless since users could just use the 1.8
version against future releases.

Generally speaking, any library/connector that is no longer actively
developed can be removed from the project as existing users can always
rely on previous versions, which should continue to work by virtue of
working against @Stable APIs.
