that was not suggested yet. IMHO the idea is healthy at least for imap and
mcrypt. I also think the most reasons to vote for the non removal was the
lack on alternatives as well, not just because the dependencies are
unsupported.

And another RFC were needed for this, obviously. I'm not disposed for yet
another one ATM, but that doesn't mean only me could do that.
