Subject: [edk2-devel] [RFC]Drop EDK Shell (EdkShellPkg) support

All,
Given the fact EdkShellPkg was deleted from edk2 repo one year ago (6caf954c1bf9), I propose to drop the support of EDK Shell in ShellPkg.
The EDK Shell support is mainly in ShellPkg/Library/UefiShellLib. The library supports to build individual shell apps that can run in both UEFI Shell and EDK Shell environment. EDK Shell environment support is what this RFC wants to remove.
Besides that, below components can also be removed:
                ShellPkg/Include/Guid/ShellEnvironment2Ext.h
                ShellPkg/Include/Protocol/

Jaben raised this idea and Laszlo had no concern.

Thanks,
Ray
