Thank God, it's not just me who thinks this way.
It's unreasonable to remove working software from the moonbase!
If it does not compile and nobody cares about fixing it,
it's perfectly fine to remove it.

I discussed this with wdp and auke when he pushed the commit,
but they reasoned to just remove those old modules as we are missing
manpower to support them.

I proposed to add a warning to modules in zdeprecated
(maybe in BUILD_CONFIGURE or BUILD_PRE_BUILD) which states
that the module is not officially supported anymore, but might still work.
This was rejected by auke and dagbrown arguing that there is no sense in
keeping those modules at all.
