And, honestly, I wonder if it was worth it.  This document contains no
entries for any recent documents, many of the links in it are long since
dead, and I honestly doubt it has been helpful to anybody.  If we keep it
should definitely be marked as historical cruft, but I wonder if it's
worth even that much effort?

Thanks,
