I don't know much about SpheresPadder but it is used by Frédéric Donze
and co-workers for generating rock mass IIRC (how do you evaluate what
is used and what is not btw?).
The documentation says it's described in [Jerier2009]_
(https://www.yade-dem.org/sphinx/yade.pack.html?highlight=spherepadder#yade._packSpherePadder.SpherePadder).
Perhaps not so good to remove published work from trunk, else we need to
also remove the paper from "Publications on Yade".

Vincent, would you document a bit more eventually?
