[vtk-developers] Removing the vtkstd headers from VTK master - using STL directly

[Bill Lorensen]

They are part of the public API.

I noticed that Slicer4 uses them, but only in two file. Likewise the
WikiExamples, but only in a couple of examples. In each case I'll
remove the vtkstd.

Your "remove legacy" approach with complete removal in VTK6 sounds good to me.
