Dependencies on external dead projects

Hello,

I want to know if anything will be done with these old bugs in the 4.6 version 
of Xfce:

http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783 (xfprint relies on a2ps which 
doesn't work at all for UTF-8 and will never be fixed)

http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2871 (xfce4-tips uses the "fortune" 
program that depends on the dead librecode library that has critical bugs that 
will never get fixed)

IMHO, the optimal solution would be to drop xfce4-tips and xfprint (and disable 
printing in Mousepad - removing a non-working menu option is never a regression).
