remove illuminate/exception replacement

[browner12]

as far as I can tell, illuminate/exception is no longer provided in the framework. the subtree has not had an update since 2014.

I came across this discrepancy when I was looking into all the subtrees. Taylor, would you be willing to do a Medium article about how the subtrees work. Mostly interested in how they get updated, and why one does not exist for Illuminate/Foundation. This would help clear up some confusion in Slack Internals.

Thanks,

Illuminate/Foundation was never intended to be a stand-alone project. It's the glue that binds everything together so makes no sense to exist as a project itself. The sub-trees are updated via a tool written by SensioLabs that works via API. AFAIK, it is not generally available and something Fabien offered to let me use.

thanks for the response @taylorotwell .

here's an article by Fabien for those interested: http://symfony.com/blog/symfony2-components-as-standalone-packages.

I think I found it: https://github.com/splitsh/lite

Just had to know what to search for!
