Still, foldout contains "folding extensions for outline-mode and
outline-minor-mode". If foldout is not just for text, perhaps outline.el
isn't either.

re-builder.el, for example, is only vaguely related to supporting Emacs
Lisp. I use it often, but never on anything related to developing or
maintaning elisp, but as a sort of incremental occur...

Likely candidates IMO:

 byte-run
 derived
 float-sup (if not obsoleted)
 map-ynp
 regi
 timer
 warnings

For progmodes/, if it's deemed to contain not only programming language
*modes* but also programming language tools (as suggested by cwarn,
cmacexp, compile, cpp, ebrowse, etags, glasses, hideif, hideshow and
mantemp):

 time-stamp ?
 skeleton
 which-func

For textmodes:

  enriched
