Removal of no longer relevant or very old news items is specifically |
| 16 |
permitted by GLEP 42[1]. I did some targeted removals in the past, and |

it didn't cause any issues as you said. A wider-ranging cleanup is |
| 18 |
definitely a good idea. |

Archiving them is no problem, since they will always still be in git |
