I used the following google query to find sites which might be using this: 
intitle:"link fa" intitle:template -wikipedia -wikisource -incubator -gerrit
That wont find non-English use of the feature, and it wont find cases where 
users have modified `featured.py` to work with a different template name.
There are several hits where the template exists, but it doesnt appear to be 
used, like http://en.wikishia.net.

I manually checked WOWwiki page source, and `MediaWiki:Common.js`, and it 
doesnt highlight featured pages in other languages.

Some of the Wookiepedia/Starwars wikis do have a similar functionality, but it 
doesnt appear to be powered by a template currently supported by `featured.py`. 
 Wikia Starwars are using a new template 
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Interlang .  German Starwars is using a 
different system. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Darth_Bane / 
http://www.jedipedia.net/wiki/Darth_Bane . I am not sure how this is working on 
jedipedia.net , as the raw HTML contains the GA/FA classes on the links, so it 
looks like some extension is doing it but I dont see any relevant extension on 
http://www.jedipedia.net/wiki/Spezial:Version .  IMO this is worth exploring, 
because if there is another extension that provides this functionality (easier 
than Wikibase), we have an even greater justification for decommissioning 
`featured.py`.

I think moving "lesser used"/unmaintained scripts into a subdirectory like 
`scripts/archive` makes sense.  It would still need to automatically be 
runnable using `pwb.py featured`, and `tests/script_tests.py` would need to 
also find and test it so that it doesnt break in an obvious manner.

If we are going to move/remove featured.py, the mailing list should be notified.
