These are maintained by me and I'd like to keep them. They can be
pulled in by running the esteam tool in steam-overlay for games that
need them. They could potentially be used for other old or
Debian-oriented binary packages too.

Hi,
I wonder how you composed this list. If you just checked if there is any
revdep, the check was probably useless:
For example,
> dev-libs/cyberjack
is up-to-date, has an active dev as maintainer and is required for any
ReinerSCT chipcard reader.

Hey,
I admit the motivation didn't come clear from the first post. I believe
majority of listed packages to be leftovers from previous removals, thus
being "useless" to us now. I also admit to checking git logs for only a
handful of packages, and left few active+useful ones out from the list
already. This is a genuine inquiry to find out if these libs are somehow
useful for someone, not a "last-rites call for action" post ;)
Although I probably will continue to look for the really outdated,
EAPI-5 etc ones after a certain period of time.

We want to keep this, though I admit I don't recall why nothing depends on it.

This has IUSE="gui", EAPI=7 and kde proj as maintainer. Please keep.

We have done such cleanups in the past. Libraries without consumers in the
Gentoo tree make in general only limited sense.
That said, if they build and have an active maintainer, why not keep them for
now.
This is more or less a cost/benefit question.
