As Tom said, you can remove these tables.  They are created as
Grouper's default mode of operation is to use an embedded HSQLDB
database for both the Groups Registry and for a *JDBCSourceAdapter* to
point at.  If your subjects are located elsewhere (per `sources.xml`)
those tables are no longer needed.

Also, I *believe* the test suite will fail (horribly) if those tables
don't exist and your `sources.xml` is not configured to point at them.
