Motivation for this change

Fixes #30891.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nox --run "nox-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

I'm not sure if I was a little too eager to remove the packages. The second commit could be left out.

Also, the graphite module is now broken. Is there a way to mark it as such?

I'm currently using the graphite module (with web and carbon enabled) in pretty much all our production machines. So I would be sad to see this go.

IIUC the problem is that the code is not consistent with the rest of python-packages.nix and the packages are not up to date with the latest graphite release. Can't we at first just move the packages to subdirs of pkgs/development/python-modules. Then maybe I can spent some time upgrading the packages.

If it has to go the more responsible thing to do would be to deprecate this in 18.09 and then remove it in 19.03.

Sure, if you are willing to maintain these packages feel free to create a PR in which you move them and correct everything that was mentioned in #30891. This PR was created because those in the maintainers field did not react to above mentioned issue and also because nobody else seemed to care about the massively outdated packages.

@basvandijk the moving of expressions began already a year ago. What is left are expressions that apparently are unmaintained. If people depend on them, they need to actively maintain them.

Ok I've made a PR #44276. Let me know what you think.
