Background
I'm pretty sure we will be able to delete the old code safely, because the old apps out in the wild have the old JAR, and the new version of the app won't need it (because it will have been removed). I'm assuming there's no CI step that would require the artifact from Gitlab going forward. dbrant that sound right?
Yep, the old Java library is no longer used, and should be safe to deprecate entirely.
When the Kotlin version of the Test Kitchen library is deployed, the Java Metrics Platform/Test Kitchen code can be safely deleted.
