Hello again,

Since we're at the beginning of the OTA-12 cycle more-or-less, we
finally removed the obsolete frameworks from the meta packages [1]. This
means that those will be no longer present starting from the next
rc-proposed image.

Be sure to port your applications to the latest supported frameworks!
This change will migrate to stable with OTA-12.

Cheers,
