Quote from one of the developers, I\_am\_Erk:  
“A wide number of mods were marked as obsolete. If there’s something you can’t live without it’s still in the cdda/data/mods folder though. If you like it move it to cdda/mods and delete the line “obsolete=true” from modinfo.json, then take that cdda/mods folder with you any time you update the game.”
