Old features still in new cPanel that maybe should be removed?

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.

 

Thank you for the reply cPanelMichael. Yes, I'm using Paper Lantern on all new accounts and I've set most existing accounts to Paper Lantern, but after receiving general feedback (and a few complaints about it) from my customers I've allowed them the option to switch back to X3.

Questions - I understand that some of those features are removed from the Paper Lantern theme, but I'm curious to know why they're still in the Feature Manager and enabled in Default. Is there a particular reason for that? Do you have plans to actually remove any of those outdated features from the cPanel install completely?

Thanks again for your response, I appreciate it.

 

One more question, and I apologize if this is covered somewhere and I'm just unable to find it - is there a way to remove the X3 theme in WHM now permanently so that users who prefer X3 will get accustomed to scrolling down to the "Change Style" function to set their theme to "Retro" ?

Thanks again for any answers to the above questions.

 

Great, thank you!!
