Ah, just came across the file OBSOLETE.TXT in the toplevel dir :)
That file indeed lists generic_wrapper and xsltfilter as removed, but seems 
the commmit missed them out. Hm, I even do not have a 
71a6d26608684c057b31d5eec2ffad612042fb55 in my repo clone, perhaps something 
was messed up somewhere?

Anyway, preparing a new merge request for a removal patch right now. And will 
add a note about the OBSOLETE.TXT to the wiki page, just in case.

Cheers
Friedrich
