You are not, so you don't need to apologize. These two packages being in obsolete/ doesn't mean no one is using them: as long as font-lock-support-mode exists, someone could still use them, although I agree that the chances of that are very low, to say the least. That is why IMO we cannot delete them without first obsoleting font-lock-support-mode, so that Emacs warns any of its users, because if someone loads these packages by hand, they don't get any warning, and might think they can continue using them forever.
