Me neither. I tend to rather the other side, why should we keep a
package that is outdated and that probably nobody uses anymore, but
that uses project resources (builds; people trying to fix it when it
potentially stops building, which is bound to happen with unmaintained
software)?

So I would drop them all unless someone speaks up who uses any of them
(or knows someone else who does).
