The general argument to avoid removal of these no longer valid links
is that they may still be available from archive.org.

For instance:

https://web.archive.org/web/20170512010721/http://oss.sgi.com/projects/cpusets/

It may be appropriate to copy the content into a local Documentation
file somewhere to avoid the need to lookup old reference links.
