Yes, that's the plan. I left them there in core for 
compatibility and to gather some feedback until final 
decision.

Actually the issue is wider, as we have FoxPro, 
FlagShip and C53 functions in core, which would 
require similar "treatment".

My idea was to move all non-C52e function to 
"dialect" libs. Questions are: where to draw 
the line? (f.e. C53 may be better left in core), 
and how to name and where to place these "dialect" 
libs.

Probably it would be best to keep them in contrib 
area, and give them some distinctive lib prefix, 
f.e. 'hdxpp', 'hdxhb', 'hdfs', 'hdclip', 'hdfox'.

If we agree on the naming, placement and the fact 
that some .prg-level FlagShip, FoxPro stuff will 
move out from core. I'm ready to make the move.

Opinions are welcome.

Brgds,
Viktor
