These are all packages that I stopped using and hence just create noise
in my inbox for each change affecting them and let's face it, while I
still enjoy contributing to nixpkgs, it doesn't really make sense to be
listed there if I can't do much anyways.
Each of these packages can be taken over by someone or removed if
people think that's reasonable.
Of course, if other maintainers face issues, I can answer some questions
if needed & possible.
This doesn't work anymore and thus breaks the installation leaving a
broken `/var/lib/nextcloud`.
It isn't a big deal since we set this value in the override config
before, so the correct table-prefix is still used. In order to confirm
that, I decided to add a custom prefix to the basic test.
twisted is used in matrix-synapse for smtp handling.
Mostly this is used for password resets, but also notifications
are delivered that way.
older versions of twisted require the e-mail server to
have TLS1.0 enabled.
Obviously, quite a lot of servers have this disabled which means
synapse won't be able to deliver mails using such servers.

Deluge 1.x requires Python 2 which upstream has end-of-lifed. Deluge depends
on pythonPackages.twisted, Python 2 support for which upstream has
nowdropped. If pythonPackages.twisted is upgraded then Deluge 1.x breaks.
So, remove it instead of leaving it broken.
Deluge 2.x (deluge-2_x) is available and continues to work.
Perform the tests on the package that the `tests` attribute is a child
of, i.e. if `discourseAllPlugins.tests` is built, the tests will run
with the `discourseAllPlugins` package, not the `discourse` package as
previously.
The problem behind this is that the hardened patchset[1]. Quite recently
this led to a weird problem when Linux 5.12 was dropped (and thus had to
be removed from `nixpkgs`), there were no patches for 5.13, so
`linuxPackages_hardened_latest` had to be downgraded to 5.10 as base[2]
which may be rather unintuitive and unexpected.
To avoid these kind of "silent downgrades" in the future, it makes sense
to drop the attribute entirely. If somebody wants to use a hardened
kernel, it's better to explicitly pin it using the newly introduced
versioned attributes, e.g. `linuxPackages_4_14_hardened`.

The paperless project has moved on to paperless-ng and the original
paperless package in Nixpkgs has stopped working recently (due to
version incompatibility with the providede Django package).
Instead of investing more time into the old module we should migrate all
users to the new module instead.
