Not that I disagree with your sentiments, but consider the following:

- The xterm program still has a dependency on some form of
  the Xaw library.  Though it looks like it can use any of
  about 4 different versions of Xaw.
  
- The VSW5 testsuite requires Xaw for some of the tests.
  I don't recall if VSW5 contains it's own copy of Xaw to use
  if one is not provided by the system.
  
- I'm pretty sure Motif/Open Motif has a dependency on the
  Xpm library.
