Hi Kacper,

thanks for your bug report. I'll admit that the removal of all those 
programs has been a test to see if those programs are still in use. As 
long as I don't actually switch "upstream", I can revert all those 
removals quite easily.

So apparently, at least two programs are missed if I remove them. I've 
re-added quiz now as well, it'll get uploaded shortly.

Regards,
Tobias
