Copy task: Motion UI and What Input

[emaia]

Hi guys!

I have a question about the copy task in the gulpfile.js (v2.8.0).
In the file we have this:

// Copy task
gulp.task('copy', function() {

  // Motion UI
  var motionUi = gulp.src('assets/components/motion-ui/**/*.*')
    .pipe($.flatten())
    .pipe(gulp.dest('assets/javascript/vendor/motion-ui'));

  // What Input
  var whatInput = gulp.src('assets/components/what-input/**/*.*')
      .pipe($.flatten())
      .pipe(gulp.dest('assets/javascript/vendor/what-input'));

With this all the Motion UI and What Input files are placed in the javascript/vendor folder (including scss, css, md, json...) but the js files of both components are already included in javascript/foundation.js by Uglify task.

Is there any purpose for this in the copy job?
Thanks

I was wondering the same thing.

I second that. I think that task is unnecessary since the theme doesn't enqueue the script from assets/javascript/vendor. I searched the packaged file and couldn't find any instances of assets/javascript/vendor being used in the theme.

Technical debt. Thanks to @emaia for pointing it out. And thanks to @populationtwo for the pull request.
