Mass deletion is not an improvement in organization

I've been a little concerned (out of the corner of my eye) about the
"reorganize www.mozilla.org" project for a while; I was worried
something like this:
  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=446213
would happen.  Now it has.

While improvements in the organization of our documentation are a
good thing, "let's delete everything since we can't deal with it"
(or break links to everything, which is pretty much the same thing)
is not an improvement.   When pages are moved, redirects should be
added.  And changes being made on the presumption that content is
obsolete should not occur without at least a good-faith effort to
determine whether it is in fact obsolete.

This change is extremely misguided and should be reverted.
