Hi all, Please be reassured that there are no plans at the moment to remove programs from CCP4, at least none of which I am aware. The newer GUIs might not provide interfaces to run all of these programs, but they are still there to run from the command line. There is currently no good reason to remove them (they constitute a tiny part of the full install size, after all) and the policy of the core team is to keep anything that passes the "if it ain't broke" test.
I know this because I once suggested that pdbset should be removed and replaced with a script that uses Gemmi. This is because pdbset has some problems (it removes LINK records for example). However removing it was strongly resisted by others in the core team. The maintenance burden of removing such a program far outweighs the negligible cost of simply keeping it around.
