Doing some... maintenance

[Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen <larsi@gnus.org>]

Gnus has accrued an awful lot of cruft during the past two, er, three
decades.  There's stuff like nnslashdot, nnultimate and nnlistserv that
probably isn't very useful for anybody any more.

Should I just go ahead and do a deleting spree?

But that's the easy part.  While trying to re-familiarise myself with
how the mm/html rendering worked, I have to admit I stumbled around a
lot in the
mm-text-html-renderer-alist/mm-text-html-washer-alist/mm-text-html-renderer
variables, and the gazillion different functions in mm-view/mm-decode
that render HTML with more than a handful of external renderers, and
more than a handful of different versions of the renderers.

Just to take an example.

But there's probably someone, somewhere, that uses lynx as the renderer,
so touching any of that stuff is probably going to upset someone.

What do all y'all think?
