Please don't remove 20ptex* because 20ptexjtex.cnf comes
from my package ptex-jtex.

Well ptex-jtex is, in short, pTeX in old days (latex209 or
\documentstyle for example) and license is also old ASCII's
license and so in non-free.  But it runs faster than the
current pTeX and sometimes current pTeX's compatibility mode 
doesn't work for old files so it is (very rare but) useful yet.

Fortunately ptex-jtex can be modified to be installable with 
pTeX of TeXLive so I continue to maintain it.
Anytime I can remove ptex-jtex but untill it causes some 
inconveniences I'll maintain it.

I think it is reasonable.
