Subject: cleaning up bitrot in the distribution

Hello,

I think we have other packages that are in a similar situation
as procmail and xchat, e.g. packages which have viable
alternatives and no upstream maintenance for many years.
Packages like these are the frozen lasagna sitting in your
freezer for last two years: they need to be tossed out.

It would be nice to make a push to remove as many of them as
is possible, so that they don't sit around bit-rotting for
another decade.

If you know of any packages like that, please open issues
requesting their removal, so we can get as many of them out
of the distribution and start this decade off with a fresh
slate.

Thanks!

Ariadne
