These are not used at all (logger, awk) or only with use flags we don't
use (mta, mailx).

Newer versions of portage (specifically when upgrading from 2.3.3 to
2.3.8) will fail to emerge the old ebuilds. See gentoo upstream commit
a91f8fc1b6a4e72de75e50dc0579141ebb5122f1.
These are not used, at least given our current USE flags. List of

Remove everything that no combination of use flags can enable and that
have been untouched for 6 years.

These are not dependencies of anything and haven't been touched in 6
years.
Packages removed:
- app-text/opensp

We have an emacs ebuild but not the dependencies it requires. Really
these are gnutls dependencies and the default use flags for emacs cause
it to depend on gnutls.
Bump gnutls as well.
Packages added:
- dev-libs/libunistring
- net-dns/libidn2
Packages updated:
- net-libs/gnutls
ddccontrol is for controlling things like backlights.
libpaper is for dealing with physical paper (e.g. a4, letter).
closure-compiler-bin is something relating to closure or js
poppler-data is for uncommon pdf encodings
libftdi is for communicating with ftdi (serial) chips
These were removed in b6cdf6aafc73ec37cfd345182e4cdc8b665b59ea but are
needed by awscli as well. We didn't catch this because awscli isn't in
sdk-depends.
