My only concern is folks who just reinstalled their OS, and then, mostly for support sites. I'd think the typical server wouldn't need to deal with these. It's also odd to use regex for non-pattern strings, like these. All of them could be trivial strcmp's rather than the regex sledgehammer.

I don't mind keeping them if they make up even 1/100 of a percent of the trafic, but it seems silly to keep these extra regexes on every single request if these clients don't exist anymore in the wild.

I probably wasn't correct when I said "regex". I'd have to check the code to be sure, but I believe that mod_setenvif knows enough to interpret these as simple string matches.
So if they exist in the wild, even in a miniscule quantity, then they should stay.
