Volkan, I am fine with deleting those modules however that would require that you make sure that you replace the existing Layouts with ones that use JsonTemplateLayout templates, take the same configuration parameters and produce the same results.
In other words, when people move from 2.x to 3.x we want to minimize the changes they have to make to their applications. All existing configurations should continue to work. Custom Plugins should require recompilation but nothing more. Hopefully that would cover 95% of our users.
