Off the top of my head, it was:
	VoxWare
	floppy tape driver
	3c905 driver
	old ATAPI CD driver
	PCVT

I have no idea if any are coming back, although there's a great amount of
people wanting VoxWare if nothing else.

When something is deleted in CVS, it is moved to the Attic, where it's no
longer checked out, but still accessible. Nothing is ever truly purged, usually.
