[Building Sakai] Deprecating reports and warehouse tools.

[Berg, Alan]

Hi Dev and production list,

I have  recommended to the Product Council and the Maintenance team that the reports and warehouse tools are demoted from Sakai 2.7 as Enterprise core tools and placed back into contrib. Please feel free to comment and make your views known.  The  original email sent is given below
