tiff2ps and tiff2pdf seem to be also good candidates for moving into archive as they have a number of reported security related issues and a significant code size. Their functionality is (at least mostly) covered by the convert utility of ImageMagick.
We use tiff2pdf and tiff2ps intensively as part of the post-processing of digitized books, newspapers, and other documents. They are fast and effective, and do exactly what we need. Seeing them go would be a real loss.
