We are now using git, a distributed version control system where
everyone has a complete copy of the project's history,

Prompted by some recent PRs removing a couple of dead grabbers
(deleting the grabber files in addition to commenting them out in
Makefile.PL) I am seeking feedback on whether we should do the same
for all other dead/EOL grabbers?

Significantly, it would clean up not only grab/, but also Makefile.PL
itself, aiding future maintenance and removing accumulated cruft.

Before I go ahead and do this, I wanted to check for any objections/comments.

Cheers,
Nick
