I definitely agree with this.

Since I'm sure Troy will disagree with this, I won't bother giving my
own reasons why I don't think we should do this now.

But I DO think we absolutely need to separate BibleCS from the rest of
libsword after the 1.5.6 release--really this time.  (I mean, we've been
saying that was the plan for the last 4 or 5 releases.)  Two days before
release is not the right time to do it though, not even by simply
deleting the apps directory or some portion thereof.  It's also really
pointless to still have unused versions of BibleCS and the BibleCS 2.0
prototype in there.
