  If nobody is using lesstif12 any more and removing it makes things a
lot easier, it would probably be worthwhile to get rid of it.

  Neither do I, but I don't see where it hurts leaving it in.  "If it
ain't broken, don't fix it."  There might be people out there who still
want to have a look at Mosaic from time to time.  An old package like
this doesn't need any active maintenance anyway.  And if, at some point
in the future, the package becomes broken for one reason or another, we
can still consider removing it.
