Removals
- Removed Casey model as it was poorly modeled, textured, and animated.
- Removed most of the music as it did not meet Debian Free Software Guidelines (DSFG).

- Removed OpenArena GPL sound effects (such as water splash) and did not replace them.
* Based on number of revisions made to Turtle Arena and those merged from ioquake3 and ioq3ztm.
** HD being 1920×1080. Many UI graphics would be rendered without upscale at 2048×1536.
