Basically I want to get rid of all code that nobody cares enough about, and
that might have alternatives elsewhere. We have enough things that are carried
around in gst-plugins-bad and are actually useful, no need to add more things
on top if nobody has the time to care about them, and even more it's a big
amount of (bad) code (see vmnc)

Those are the most important ones, yes. I'm fine with also just lowering the
ranks of those to NONE for 1.10.1 and then we can see further later.
