I'm currently trying to drum up interest in it among the devs who are |
| 31 |
more knowledgable about it. Give it one last shot (or maybe two) before |
| 32 |
killing it. |

I think the "historical purposes" bit isn't valid anymore -- CVS is our |
| 43 |
history, and we have many more docs that were removed but are still |
| 44 |
available. CVS is forever! We should just use that and nuke the file. |

For now, I'll kill off 1 and 4. Thanks for your thoughts, keep 'em coming. |
