I confirm it.  WPS disappeared from the git repository just before
version 0.6.3.  I hoped that WPS would be in a separate branch, but I
don't see anything like that.

I'm also concerned about it.  It's not that I would likely use it
myself, but it's useful code licensed under GPL.  It's worrying to see
it disappear without any warning or discussion.
