If reporting is no longer working independently, it should be converted from a
suite to an ordinary module. That involves doing nothing more than deleting
modules.txt and editing any modules.txt that refer to it as a suite to refer to
it as a module and also incorporating whatever modules this points to.

As far as the module manager goes, it is possible to release it as a module,
even if it is a suite. In this case, it would not show up as a suite in the
module manager.

Overall, it is desirable to convert suites to modules. A suite should be
something that is desirable to change-to. All the choices of suites in the
module manager should be meaningful as well as desirable to switch to. This
goes as well for the ant list-suites command. So, if one once had something as
a suite for development purposes, but overtime it evolves into something that
is just a helper module for another suite, one should not hesitate to convert
that suite to a module.

If wrp developers agree, I would be glad to do this conversion for you.
