Yes, that's it.

I don't really want to maintain code that has no practical use.
There's something attractive about having the code base be as small as
possible.

Same with ADSP; if the move to Historic goes fast enough, that code will
simply get deleted. It will always be in the git history should there
ever be a reason to ressurrect it or pull it up as an example.

If a compelling argument can be made, we might be able to move them to
underneath "contrib", where at least I would feel like I'm no longer
responsible for maintaining it.
