Hi,
Here is the third sublist. It contains the packages from the second list that for which no decision has been made plus the remaining orphans in the wiki list. There might be a fourth sublist if there are still some stray orphans remaining.
If you think a package should be kept or disagree about the comments, say it so. If you think all these packages can be removed, also say it so. If you want to adopt one of these packages, please adopt it through the dashboard and let me know.

libidl unused lib libsvg unused lib Aren't they just non-specified depends? Names sound like they are/was important somewhere.
libidl seems to be a legacy lib which is no longer needed. Packages in the repo now uses libidl2. libsvg is old. It's a devel snapshot dating from 2005. About non-specified depends: I won't go through the thousands of packages in the repo to see if their depends are correct. ;) If a package has one of these libs as a non-specified depends, a user will eventually get an error and will file a bug report. The dev with the brocken package will need to readd the missing depends in the repo.
powernowd Do we need it? We already have cpudyn and cpufreq. As a decision been made? Not needed. We have all needed modules in kernel and cpufrequtils to make them usable. (see comments in previous thread)
