Hi Fred, I think it is great to get rid of the old documentation - indeed the other day I did a google search and didn't realize I was looking at an old version of the documentation.
That leads me to my issue with removing - and I don't have a solution, just a concern. Googling or duckduckgoing many eclipse topics have help.eclipse.org/kepler in the results (some have neon). What is the effect on SEO of just removing kepler? Will all relevant search results from google just disappear making it harder to find information until google and the like re-rank the results higher? Almost all the results work if kepler is just replaced with 2019-09 (or 2019-12 or latest presumably). I see in the time that I have been writing the email that help.eclipse.org/kepler has disappeared - the effect that it is harder to find the results because the search within infocenter is not as good as google.
