Okay, my opinion is as follows: If we're not going to support it
anymore, we should drop it. Keeping it around is only going to serve as
an illusion of support. One can still find old spells in the git
repository and then keep their own grimoire with it. If we're going to
have a graveyard, let it be /dev/null. Let's not give the illusion of
support, just drop it. It's done and over. We don't have the manpower to
maintain another grimoire. (Yeah, we're not "maintaining" it, but work
still has to be done on it.)

I do see a benefit with having stuff removed from the grimoire. However,
in order to come up with good reasons for doing so, we need statistics.
I do not feel that ledger meets those needs. Not many use it, and it's
not reliable enough, IMHO.
