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.
