Comment (by hugobaeta):

 Replying to [comment:70 melchoyce]:
 > For the most part. I think we should keep the alignment icons grouped
 together, whichever row they end up.

 I agree. I thought that was implied in my comment and @mrwweb's comment.
 Remove `justifytext` and move the other three down to the kitchen sink.

 > Also against removing font color based on the last time we tried to
 remove it. From what I remember, we removed it in a major release and then
 re-introduced it in a subsequent point release because it caused
 significant confusion and uproar.

 I'm still strongly agains this feature, mostly because it adds non-
 semantic inline styles and markup to the database. If we don't remove it,
 then at least we should change it to make it better (add css class instead
 of inline styles, and add css for it to the head of the page). Maybe move
 this to a separate ticket if so?

 Updated list:

 - move formatselect to first position and remove Heading 1.
 - remove alignjustify
 - move the `alignleft`, `aligncenter`, and `alignright` to the kitchen
 sink
 - Remove underline

 Trying to get a set of changes we can all agree and have it committed so
 we can move on to creating other tickets to tackle the remaining features.
