Rare, or Not Rare?

rarepairs_modHello, everyone! A recent comment has reminded me that I've been meaning to do this for a while, but have neglected the task until now.
I'd like to reevaluate our list of non-rare pairings. It's been nearly four years since that list was made, and two and a half since it was last updated. Fandom is an ever-changing thing, so I'm sure that this list is not as up-to-date as it could be. Some pairings will obviously remain on the list, like Draco/Hermione, Harry/Ginny, and Remus/Sirius, etc., but others like Ginny/Neville, Harry/Luna, and perhaps even Lucius/Narcissa, among others, might benefit from some reconsideration. (Or perhaps not?) There may even be some pairings to add to the list.
Anyway, it would be extremely helpful if you would all take a moment to comment with your thoughts. Discussion is encouraged, especially as some will be more familiar with certain areas of fandom than others (for instance, in the past, it's come up that all femmeslash pairings seem rare to some, because they are more familiar with het and/or slash).
For the sake of convenience, our current off-limits/non-rare list is beneath the cut.
And please remember that not all canon pairings are automatically considered non-rare.
