This might probably still be used by people, even if enscript offers similar functionality. Is there actually any problem with a2ps? I wouldn't love to rewrite some toolchains just because somebody thinks it's dated.
I don't think anybody is suggesting that these packages are dropped outright. Just that they aren't included in openSUSE:Factory, they will still be there, in their respective development repos. Honestly, I think this is an effort that needs more focus, to reduce the overall workload on shipping a good Factory/Tumbleweed Product. You can't just keep *everything* in Factory in perpetuity, because ONE user might need it.
Why not? If a package in question has no security issues does not cause continuous headaches why not keep it? What is wrong with code that works well and has been used for a long time? Don't get me wrong, I like clean up efforts. But throwing stuff out just because it is old is from my perspective throwing out the baby with the bath water.
