Why removed? Don't we want to make sure they keep compiling? Or you mean
that they should be moved back to the main documentation folder?

I agree that we need a folder for documents that we don't want in our
main documentation. I think we should have both documents that we expect
to compile in there (e.g. to prevent regressions) and documents that we
hope compile in the future. The reason for this mixing and not having
e.g. two separate folders is because often one document will compile for
one format and not for another. That's why we can signal such things
with the framework we already have set up, with INVERTED_SEE-README.
Although it feels a little hackish, I actually think it works quite
well.
