I mean, all those which are unused. Optimally, you should look at the tools and see whether they're using those exports and if not, remove them. But no hurry here too, take your time. My final goal is to have this up-to-date documentation of what is exported and what is used by user tools so that people can look at it first before carelessly exporting yet another thing.
