For 2.5, we deprecated:
back-ndb back-sql back-perl
Should these be removed for 2.6?
Additionally, I think we should be deleting retired backends out of master. Git is designed for this type of thing, there's no need for them to persist (For example, back-shell). It makes branching new releases a major headache.

I still routinely build back-perl in master. Is there any reason to remove it?

Not necessarily, that's why I started the discussion. back-bdb was deprecated with 2.3, but was around for all of 2.4 as well. I see no reason to keep back-ndb around. back-sql has numerous open issues, but I've no real insight into whether it retains any usefulness.
