Hier ist eine Liste von eher veralteten Paketen und Klassen sowie den empfohlenen Nachfolgern, die es ersetzen können. Das ist keine Beurteilung, es soll nur in der Paket-Auswahl helfen und im Prüfen von Dokumentpräambeln eigener Dokumente oder Fremd-Vorlagen. Leser können gern selbst anhand der Paket-Dokumentationen eine Entscheidung Kandidat versus Ersatz treffen. Immerhin hat man hier eine Liste zu den Kandidaten.
Form:
* Veraltetes Paket: **Empfohlener Nachfolger**
Los gehts. Es kann gern bearbeitet und ergänzt werden (die Liste ist Community Wiki und für alle editierbar).
