 Well, you are the maintainer, so it's your call.  I disagree and I have 
given what I believe is a reasonable justification, but that's about as 
much as I can do -- I can't force it onto you.  As I say my concern is 
about the arbitrary assignment and not things being called "legacy" or 
"best-ever", "pre-y2k", or whatever.  And splitting a bunch of pieces of 
software that are loosely related to one another into two bunches isn't 
going to reduce clutter, but to spread it instead -- now you'll have 
clutter in two places rather than just one, so I think the change is just 
missing the point.  Again, as the maintainer it's your right to disagree.

 Thank you for the time you've taken to consider my comments nonetheless.
