No, no one is. (Do you know anyone who is?) Basicly, that new-fangled 
"web" thing has made archie/gopher/veronica perfectly obsolete.

It produces garbled output at best; at worst, it dumps core. Try it 
yourself, and tell us what you think.

What we're looking for here, is for a user to say, "Yes, I use that 
package for ____.", which would be enough to grant a stay of execution.

What we don't need to hear (IMO), is the uninteresting assertion that 
somoene, somewhere, could be using these packages. By that standard, 
nothing could ever be removed.
