There are a few old features still in cPanel that have been there since basically the beginning, and I think some of them maybe shouldn't even be there anymore.
For examples:
Advanced Guestbook
Agora Shopping Cart
CGI Center
Counter
Email Scripts (cgiemail,formmail)
Entropy Banner
Entropy Search
Java Clock
Java Countdown
Random HTML Generator
Simple Guestbook
Some of them are just useless, some of them are borderline security and/or resource issues. Some of them are so 1998 it's not even funny.
I disable them in the Feature Manager on every server of course, but I'm wondering if it wouldn't just make sense to for cPanel to just permanently ditch at least some of them.
Would it be difficult? Are any of those wasting valuable space and resources?
I'm not looking at this as some kind of priority issue... cPanel have much bigger fish to fry (get rid of Unlimited email quotas, give ability to hide Remote MySQL from within feature manager, prevent naive users from running full backups of massive accounts at will, migrate Addons to full accounts, etc...) but I can't help but wonder what some of the items listed above even still doing in cPanel as we approach 2016.
Main reason for starting this thread - I'm very interested to know other people's opinions about this.
