Description
Given that fTools and GdalTools are removed as Core plugins and moved to Processing, shouldn't they be unavailable from the Plugin Manager instead of appearing in red?
2.18 might also be concerned by this issue, regarding fTools.

Does it require the user to do something particular, because I have them in the Plugin manager dialog of my today osgeo4w build?

Browsing the folders reveal that both contain an empty folder named "tools". Deleting the main folder might do the trick but I'm not sure we should ask users to go and manually delete them...

they should not be there, and on clean installations they are not. Very likely it is/was just a local issue in your system.

Hummm... what would then be a clean installation on windows? I'm using the same osgeo4w folder for a while. Does it mean that I (users) should trash it and build new? (in which case, this might be stated somewhere, otherwise when more feature freeze begins, these kind of issues will be raised again). Then, what about my configs ?

maybe/probably those folder were just leftovers by a not clean uninstall/update, but it would be anyway a different issue.

I have the same symptoms: red fTools and GDAL tools in plugin manager. OSGeo4W upgrade (upgraded LTR, release, and dev in the same step), Win7Pro x64.
