+ Nroff mode [obscure language these days, and not very useful content]
+ Asm Mode [fairly useless -- doesn't say much you wouldn't get
from just using the mode]
They are so short that we won't save much by moving them.
I think their usefulness is sufficient to justify such a small
amount of text.
+ Table mode; I'm not sure about this one -- it could be very
popular, I suppose, but it _is_ quite large. Maybe there could be a
shortened version in the printed manual (similar to the way that Gnus
has a short intro in the Emacs, manual, which links to the huge
standalone Gnus manual)?
This seems like a better candidate to move. I don't know how
popular it is.
