[GeneralDiscussion] drop some page types from Zwiki 2 ?

How about dropping the moin page type from Zwiki 2 ?

I ask because I've just partially fixed unicode-related bugs in the  
old moin code we ship with, but I know there are more in there.

The moin support was sponsored by Canonical in the days when they were  
switching from moin to zwiki, I think. However I don't think it's used  
by anyone nowadays. Also I don't think it helps people migrating  
between the two wiki engines all that much. It does allow you to merge  
moin content into a zwiki and convert the pages gradually by hand. But  
it doesn't help with the actual markup conversion. And our moin markup  
is probably not a desirable everyday markup, as it's not 100% like  
MoinMoin (no macros), it lags behind rst/stx in terms of Zwiki  
support, and it's less intuitive for users than those two imho. So I  
suggest we drop it from Zwiki 2 to free up time for other parts of the  
code.

Ditto for the wwml page type - I suggest we drop this one too, simply  
because no zwiki users use it.

Comments ? If you really need either of these page types, this is your  
chance to make your case.
