While I agree with you here, there is another side of the
coin. There are netlister's backends nobody uses and nobody
reports their state. A few months ago one user has reported vams
is broken. Looking at it I've discovered it is broken about a
decade ago. No special tests were made at the time of its creation
so just nobody knows...

I am saying about this because my intention, which I am going to
implement, is stripping our repository by removing various
obsolete/unused/non-working thigs. Of course, I'll ask our users
here about any of them, if/when I do this.
