I think if we had a formal list of planned removals, it'd be more likely
that they'd actually happen. Right now there's no process at all
driving such things forward.

I suggest also marking each item with a release in which we intend to do
it, so we don't have to try to remember whether a reasonable amount of
time has elapsed.
