Three is a lot. I think untranslated.html was used to notify pre AOO versions of OpenOffice where we did not have support for their language in AOO. If we had support for their language we would just offer them a normal update notification. But for the others we sent them to this page. The eol-nl.html version was used in a similar way, but a slightly stronger message when we declared EOL on OpenOffice.org 3.3.0 and earlier. This can be combined, I think. We never really deployed these fully, but just used them for a couple of weeks to test the reaction. They are called from the update notification service, so if we change the URL we'll need to update it there as well. I think legacy/thankyou.html page is hard coded in OOo installs. It is called after installing. So we don't want to change that URL. In the last 30 days we've had: 45,713 hits to legacy/thankyou.html And zero hits to untranslated.html or eol-nl.html.
