I think keeping tinymail/wpeditor/modest around might make sense.
It still has some development, they are usable as-is and have some external
depencencies that someone might want to packages some day (gpe-phone, tmut).

So basicly I'd send out:

RM: hildon-theme-plankton -- RoM; abandoned upstream
RM: hildon-theme-layout-4 -- RoM; abandoned upstream
RM: hildon-theme-tools -- RoM; abandoned upstream
RM: hildon-thumbnail -- RoM; abandoned upstream
RM: libhildon -- RoM; abandoned upstream
RM: libhildonhelp -- RoM; abandoned upstream
RM: libhildonmime -- RoM; abandoned upstream
RM: libosso -- RoM; abandoned upstream
RM: maemo-af-desktop-l10n -- RoM; abandoned upstream
RM: mce-dev -- RoM; abandoned upstream
RM: osso-gwconnect -- RoM; abandoned upstream
RM: sapwood -- RoM; abandoned upstream

We should upload and orphan:

wpeditor: keep as is
libtinymail: configure without maemo/hildon
modest: configure without maemo/hildon

extrernal dependencies:

tasks-hildon, dates-hildon, contacts-hildon

ask Ross to Drop hildon variants.
