It hasn't come up on list yet, but at our http discussion there was
consensus to delete Neon as soon as 1.6 is branched. This seems like a
good point for that on-list discussion :-)

When 1.6 branches, we'll flip serf to be the ONLY DAV layer. Then we
have six months to iron out any remaining issues. As Justin notes,
there aren't many since it has been his RA for years.

Any missing auth mechanisms can be added during this time, too.

This will remove our dual-path DAV and lighten our RA dev burden.
