HOL-ex has always been an odd bin for very mixed material. I don't see a
reason to delete that: otherwise we would have to question other odd sessions,
too.

We could rather leave HOL-ex as is, and move some of the better examples into
a new session HOL-Examples (with material from other sessions, like
HOL-Isar_Examples).

You make a good point.

The start of all this is that I am looking for a home for my Ackermann 
development (attached). It actually demonstrates the use of the function 
package with a partial function definition and later proving that it is defined 
everywhere.

Why don't you start off HOL-EXamples with precisely this theory? Once a start has been made, suitable material can be moved from HOL-ex. As Makarius wrote, some of it is a mixture between real examples and regression tests. I would be liberal and move theories that have some exemplary aspect as well as regression tests (eg Functions).
