HTH,
Flo - who also thinks that removing the old content is wrong but also
thinks that it is up to debian-www to make a call on that, and who now
just wanted to clarify the references from commit to thread and vice versa

In that case, it seems like a possible compromise might be to keep the
old files in place to avoid breaking links from elsewhere, but no longer
list them from the index?
