Popcon is at most 1897 (the score of uwsgi-core), i.e. a conservative
score for these alternatives of more than %5 of the preferred one.

That seems a significant number to me.

Regardless of the userbase being arguably significant, I am ok with the
approach of trying to pull the plug on them, having a package ready if
someone provides good reasons for reviving them.

Will you try prepare dropping these alternatives?  I imagine that in
addition to removal of the code and the entries in the control file
(see my related draft commit in the wip branch), it requires adding an
entry in debian/NEWS.
