Sri, as the target audience of the HowDoI (as were many fellow attendees at 
various hackfests), I'd be dismayed if it went away. I'm not a beginner and I 
don't need to know all the switches, often I just need to know how to get it 
running again. As Fred says, it's written by someone who can ask, "Why does it 
work this way?", change the way it works and update the instructions 
accordingly, or even "Why should the instructions be different for BSD?" and 
fix the situation. If anything, the HowDoI should be the Canonical source for 
other efforts.

Also jhbuild has been absorbing good practices first written down in
that page (default directory layout, no jhbuilrc required), and that
in turn made that page shrink, which is a good thing.
