Interesting list. Ive been past the airport at Pakse about 12 months ago. Looked abandoned to be honest but a local said they do have a few flights each week. Pity there isnt more flights has its a long trip down that way.
I have flown on the Lao Airlines Vientiane-Pakse-Ho Chi Minh City flight, which gave me a brief look at the Pakse terminal. There have been calls for a Pakse-Bangkok flights as well, especially after Savannakhet got a Bangkok flight.
