The sentiment of what you say is easy to agree with, but determining
what is "incorrect" is exactly what we are grappling with here. Just
because you would do it differently, doesn't make it incorrect. I assume
that these subarea links are actually correct in a factual sense. Your
willingness to "leave them for now" should really be upgraded to "leave
them until the community agrees to remove them" which IMHO means that
another way is found of conveying the same information which we agree is
so superior to what we have that it is worth the effort of converting
the existing data and "data consumer tooling".
