These sound very similar. Perhaps the second one should be removed?

I'm unsure that they're precise duplicates of each other. I'll review.

Sorry for the delay here. They are indeed very similar in functionality. But there are some differences: category-sticky-post only affects post order when looking at a category archive and tag-sticky-post only when looking at a tag archive. These distinctions are hardcoded into the plugin. I agree that it doesn't make sense for there to be two different plugins for this purpose - it would be easy to modify one of the plugins to do both tasks. But these are not plugins that we maintain, and I don't want us to adopt them. Furthermore, I don't want to manage a migration routine for users who are currently using one of these plugins, in the case when we have to move all users to the other plugin.
As such, while I very much agree with the spirit of decluttering, I don't think it's worth the effort to remove these near-dupes.
