The series looks good (i.e. tolerable ;) to me. I (also) use this space to emphasize the fact, that when legacy bindings go to contrib, those are no longer maintained. Should someone(tm) want to use those, they can maintain it themselves. That said, with luck, those may work years (if not decades, but probably not so many) with little maintenance...
