Remove paste

[Bryan D. Payne]

Seems like we are only use paste in a very minor way. And it has caused some issues already with import errors slipping through the gate jobs. Perhaps we should just find a way to remove out use of paste altogether?

This looks like a duplicate of 1424084 (or that is a duplicate of this...)

And, of course by 1424084 I mean 1424085

Bryan, could you give us some details about the issues with paste/imports? It looks like we have a few things we'd like to migrate to a plugin architecture, where paste could come helpful.
If there are some good reasons not to use paste at all, it would be great to get some more information.

There's nothing wrong with paste per se. This bug was filed with the idea that the added complexity of development and testing wasn't work it given how the project was using it at that time. If there's a desire to use it more broadly, then by all means go for it. Just make sure that you have proper testing and such in place :-)
