[Labs-l] Spring Cleaning

[Brion Vibber]

Thanks for the reminder ping! I still need ogvjs-testing for ongoing work
on the mobile side (the desktop integration is done months ago) but I can
probably trim its disk space on my end. (It uses a lot of space because
it's got local copies of some videos from Commons, but the player can pull
them directly from Commons these days.)
