The linux folks want as many modules in their tree as possible so that
they can improve/change the interfaces between the core and the modules
easily and without breaking third-party modules. I also have the feeling
that any time I see software supporting plugins, these plugins are more
often than not in bad shape, especially when they are maintained by a
third party.

These two modules seem to be really small and should not require much
maintenance. Considering the points mentioned above I'd suggest to keep
them.
