Hey Chris

According to pkgstats [
https://www.archlinux.de/?page=PackageStatistics ], the following have
at least 5% usage:

cxxtest
hal-cups-utils
pypanel
python-mechanize
python-clientform

And these below 5%, i.e IMO alright to remove:

jump-*
libcgi
liboop
nepim
live-f1
magickthumbnail
mime-editor
python-certtool
python-constraint
python-pyparallel
python-pyserial

However, I'm not quite sure whether we can trust these numbers as
being "current", like for eg. hal being phased out may mean
hal-cups-utils is no longer needed or used (the stat is mostly from a
prior period). Of particular concern is pypanel, which IIRC was used
widely until at least 2008 (the last wiki edit for it). Anyway, it's
up to you - we don't want to keep things in community that aren't used
anymore :)
