The thing is, a lot of stuff gets punted to the TODO list *because*
it's contentious, ie there's not consensus on what to do. If there
were consensus we might've just done it already. I'm not sure we want
to remove such entries, though perhaps somehow marking them as debatable
would be a good thing.
There may well be stuff on the list that is no longer very relevant in
today's world, but somebody would have to go through it item by item
to decide which ones those are. I'm not volunteering.
