Half of the elements in g.remove and related modules are not used any
more. Let's remove them from GRASS7.
* old (GRASS 5.0) vector map(s)
* ASCII vector map(s)
* paint icon file(s)
* paint label file(s)
* site list file(s)
* 3D view parameter(s)
Please correct me if we still use some of them. Technically it's easy to
remove them, just remove a couple of lines in lib/manage/element_list
file.

Hm, we still have v.in.sites and v.in.sites.all so I would suggest to
remove them too, as well as the library (lib/sites). Does anyone know
what's the status of 'paint label file'? There are modules v.label and
d.labels so it seems that we should still support it. For the other
elements I couldn't find any module which would be using them so they can
be removed safely.

Yes

(there is also v.label.sa lurking ...)

I removed sites element together with the library in r62179, then I
removed paint icons in r62180 (I have no idea what it is and I haven't
found any related library) and finally I removed 3dview element, but I
kept the library itself, since it still might be useful I think. I would
appreciate if someone else could have a look at the old vector formats, I
have no idea what is the difference between them and which libraries they
use. I think we don't need any of them in GRASS7.

"If old version is requested, the output files from v.out.ascii is placed
in the $LOCATION/$MAPSET/dig_ascii/ and $LOCATION/$MAPSET/dig_att
directory."
So, it stems from GRASS GIS 4 and older. Random citation:

if it's only one usage I would still to vote for removing it from element
list. What do you think?

Thanks! I think we can close it. The actual code for handling different
vector formats is still there, but from what I remember when I was looking
at it, it would be quite time consuming to clean it up.
