I would be +1 on starting with deprecation of both databrowse and webdesign, -0 on formtools at this point for the same reason Jannis mentioned; it is actually actively maintained and used, and recently got some major improvements. In the abstract I do think that formtools is a fine candidate to be an external app rather than live in contrib, I just think we may as well start with the lower-hanging fruit here. Databrowse could easily be spun off into an external app if anybody cared to maintain it.
