It's probably worth having a section dedicated to them, that documents the wish to slowly get rid of "less than awesome" features from past Perls.
I'm not sure we actually want to separate them from the regular features in a separate section.
It should also put forward the name "unfeature" (with the goal to promote its use, instead of "negative features": it's actually a positive thing that they are disabled!).
