Hi OS, 
I think we should review the EDocman package and remove the old Bootstrap 3 JavaScript and CSS files if they are no longer needed.
EDocman no longer supports Joomla 3, and we are not really supporting the old Bootstrap versions anymore. So keeping Bootstrap 3 assets inside the package may not be necessary now.
My main concern is security and maintenance. Even if these files are not actively used, having old JS/CSS libraries included in the extension package can still cause security scanner warnings, or potentially create unnecessary risks.
Recently, there have also been several security-related reports around Joomla extensions such as JCE and SP Page Builder, so I think it is better for us to keep our packages as clean and minimal as possible.
Maybe this is something we should clean up now that Joomla 3 is no longer supported. We can check whether any Bootstrap 3 JS/CSS files are still needed. If not, it is better to remove them and only keep the assets required for the Joomla versions we currently support.
This should help reduce package size, avoid unnecessary security warnings, and make EDocman look more up to date.
