Site Messages: do we use these at all?

[foxfirefey]

I'm doing a little before-bed Template Toolkitting as a before-bed easy coding thing--I was thinking of converting the site messages area of the admin to TT, but I'm also wondering if we use it at all, or have plans of doing so, in case what I should be doing is figuring out how to jettison it?

It only shows up on the front page, and only if there are site messages. I remember asking about them when I implemented the front page modules long ago, and was told to keep them around "just in case". Over two years later, and that just in case hasn't materialized, so!

Yeah, I think I'm pretty okay with dumping it if we haven't used it in like three years. If we do wind up needing it, we'd have to do a ton of work on it anyway, so why not yank it and rebuild it bigger!better!stronger!faster if we need it in the future.

Agree. Let the fiery purge commence!
