Here are some lisp files that I think are candidates for obsoletion:

vip.el
vi.el
  - I don't think Emacs needs 3 different vi emulators (these plus viper).
    These two have seen very little development in recent years (decades).

tpu-edt.el
crisp.el
ws-mode.el
  - These are emulations of very old things. I don't imagine many people
    are going to start using them these days. If not obsolete, perhaps
    move to GNU ELPA?


But it's mainly the first two.
