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.
