[Building Sakai] Why do we still have the "mercury" site in Sakai's trunk

[Steve Swinsburg]

I've proposed the mercury site be replaced with a normal demo site as part of the experience improvement:
https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-22122

I agree that whilst there might be some historical reason, its a legacy we can move on from. Every time I show Sakai to someone they say "Why is it called 'Mercury'?" 

cheers,
S
