OK that's a good list, and all of those can be moved IMO.

I take back part of what I mentioned earlier. There are indeed some
packages that I believe no one uses. The best way to handle this is to
selectively remove each package that we still want to keep from the
wiki list. I've added a filter list, so remove from there (and not the
original). Wiki diffs would tell us what has been removed (and by
whom).

Set up a timeframe along with an official discussion period for this,
i.e how long we have until the filter list is final. And then the
voting, if needed.
