I dont' think there's much call for retiring it. I think there is
interest in renaming it, as "contrib" is a wholly misleading name, and
rearranging the modules somewhat, and above all in documenting it properly.
One of the original goals of the buildfarm was to lessen the extent to
which contrib was a second class citizen by making sure it was tested on
the same schedule as the rest of Postgres.
