If the obsolete tag is to be removed then it needs a formal maintainer,
all the obsolete interface usage cleaning up and the like otherwise at
some point in a clean up it is going to end up breaking and migrating to

If that is going to get done (by Karsten or someone else given Karsten
appears totally occupied on other stuff) then great.
