ex-preinstalled and now unsupported activities (Re: Update.1)

[Wade Brainerd]

I made a proposal on the Activities talk page the other day, which suggests
organizing activities into Featured and Extra, with some Featured activities
also being Supported by the OLPC team.

This would allow activities which are feature complete and relatively bug
free to be distinguished from those that are not finished and/or not
working, without creating the impression that OLPC maintains all activities.
