Since Dane requested removal, I don't think that further discussion is
required. The case for removal is clear.

Mapnik is also a beast to build, so if no applications depend on it, it
can safely be removed.

Both nik4 & tilestache have libmapnik in their dependency chain via
python-mapnik. For tilestache it's a recommended dependency and hence
not strictly required, nik4 does have a strict dependency.

nik4 can be considered for removal from OSGeo-Live.

Kind Regards,

Bas
