The criterion of last "access"/"release", when applied to individual
functions in some packages, would also lead to some deletions.

As long as the packages compile and still work I'd suggest to keep them. Or
are they in the way?

The video package has been cloned elsewhere; I still use the OF one (but
with octave-3.4.3 as that's the only version I have it working with). Maybe
the outside video pkg clone can be merged back in? (IIRC it was asked but I
never noticed a response)
