I disagree with you on this Pedro, IMO this must be considered as an
option. And I don't really see what we loose.

For github security management, AFAICT the job is almost done with the
tool we have that set teams on repos, we can apply the teams to new
repos.
For travis and runbot, it would return to something simple as the main
issue is the `oca_dependencies.txt` file which we could get rid of it.
I don't think the work would be huge on those. And builds would only
include needed dependencies. (avoiding thing such as uninstalled but
loaded modules)

About history, I think it is important to keep the complete history.
Each PR should be checked carefully to include it.
We have to add a step to check if in history the module was
moved/renamed. I just hope that 90% of modules haven't been renamed
and then we can automate to filter on  +
__unported__/

About not removing the __unported__ dir, think about the benefits of
one module per repo.
