Nice! I went through your list quickly and sorted it into "drop" and
"G-C" categories that I think would make sense. It probably warrants
further discussion and input from more people.

Don't know about these.

Drop. I don't think these are much use to anyone, and I don't think they
ever will be.

Move to G:C. Most of these are of some use to a small group of people,
or are not polished/useful enough to be in G:F. I kind of want to drop
some of these, but it's better to err on the safe side, I guess.

Drop, I guess?
