Everybody has it's own completion most probably because of the domain of application. I suppose that in some embedded device strings are not used at all. Should we remove them? Many people have never use tasking, should we remove tasks? Or maybe my response is I do not want to remove any feature from Ada. Even entries families (that you have cited) are useful, I had use of them in one application.
