That would mean updating the websites to point to the archives and not
the mirrors, and we're not in the business of editing the websites
without strong cause.

Hi,

  The attic'ed projects can't be on the mirrors forever, imho.
  A cleanup after, say, 6 months seems reasonable.

  Cleanup was done for (for instance) 'beehive' like this :
  the 'dist/beehive/' directory is stripped, containing only
  a .htaccess file with :

    RedirectMatch permanent .* http://attic.apache.org/projects/beehive.html

  The same can be done for other projects.

  At the moment, candidates are : harmony and jakarta,
  since the were attic'ed at least half a year ago.

  Of course, these pages:

    http://attic.apache.org/projects/harmony.html
    http://attic.apache.org/projects/jakarta.html

  should contain a reference to relevant archive.apache.org page,
  as for instance the beehive attic page does.

  Please make it the rule to cleanup attic'ed projects after six months.
  I'll be happy to do the cleanup and set the proper .htaccess files.

  Please let me know.

  Regards,

  Henk Penning -- apache.org infrastructure
