The non-default ones won't get any love - at some point they'll just stop working (or indeed, work at all).If they break then one of two things will happen: 1) Someone will fix it. 2) No one will fix it because no one cares. If no one cares, then it being broken doesn't matter. Killing off choice/alternatives just in case no one cares about them isn't especially helpful.
3) A lot of people who do care and either cannot afford to or are technically competent to fix it are screwed. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
