Even,

May you reconsider the Golden Software drivers --- GS7BG, GSAG, GSBG --- ?
GMT can read/write GSBG, but specially GS7BG, besides Surfer, GDAL is the only 
one that I know that is able to read this format. Maybe not in this list but 
there are still many people who use Golden software grid formats.

Subject: [gdal-dev] Motion: remove and deprecate a few drivers

Hi,

Following the discussions of past weeks, I motion to:

- remove the vector drivers BNA, AeronavFAA, HTF, OpenAir, SEGUKOOA, SEGY, SUA, 
XPlane and raster drivers BPG, E00GRID, EPSILON, IGNFHeightASCIIGrid, NTv1. 
They have all been authored by myself and I'm not aware of them having been 
much used or being still in use. 
Implemented in https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pull/3373. They (driver code, doc 
and tests) have been moved to the https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal-extra-drivers

- deprecate the raster drivers DODS, FIT, GS7BG, GSAG, GSBG, JDEM, JPEG2000, 
JPEGLS, MG4LIDAR, GMT, DOQ1, DOQ2, FUJIBAS, IDA, LAN, MFF, NDF, SDTS, SGI, XPM, 
ZMAP and vector driver ARCGEN, ArcObjects, CLOUDANT, COUCHDB, DB2, DODS, FME, 
GEOMEDIA, GTM, INGRES, MONGODB, REC, SDTDS, TIGER, WALK. They will now be 
disabled at runtime by default, unless the 
GDAL_ENABLE_DEPRECATED_DRIVER_{drivername}
configuration option is set to YES, and will be removed in GDAL 3.5. 
Implemented in https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pull/3505

Starting with my +1

Even
