I think that's the entire point that I'm trying to make. I don't actually know, 
and if you are coming to the website there really isn't a way for you to know 
what is or isn't needed if you are attempting to set up Sling from scratch. 
Carsten's comment was one of the most educational I've seen so far as to what 
needs to be set up.

Interesting question that, if you are using bundles from Sling without using 
the Sling engine, are you really using Sling?

That is your interpretation and I'm not sure if that matches other peoples 
definitions. Bertrand has implied that the level of support is not dependent on 
the number of committers but on whether the PMC decides via a vote whether a 
bundle should be supported i.e. not a contrib. That was my takeaway at least.

My goal may also be slightly different from the conversation around indicating 
the deprecated bundles.

I have had an issue with this page for a long time
https://sling.apache.org/downloads.cgi

It's awful, It conveys very little information, If I have a bundle id I can't 
find it here, I don't see why a bundle listed here should be used or not.  I'm 
hoping these categorizations and tags can be utilized here to better segment 
what I'm looking at. So that it provides context.
