Hi Karl,

I'm glad you understood the reasoning behind what is currently being
decided upon. "Old" wiki pages don't die, they just smell that way :P

The suggestion about deleting old wiki areas was a very short lived
suggestion. As was eloquently put; if some one is running Unbutnu 8.04 & is
happy with it, who are we to remove their sources of reference? There's a
couple of proposed solutions for archiving, we await to find out which is
chosen. Lubuntu can count itself lucky, we only go back to 10.04 :D

Regards,

Phill.
