The point is, there used to be such a page. If we decide to stop providing that information, I think it is polite to tell people that the specific page no longer exists. Also we should not expect other sites to adjust their links if we change our pages, even if we happen to have access to update the other site's pages. We have to assume that some people will use the original URL; we should not tell them to "go away" with a 404. > But, sure, I > won't get in the way of folks doing that if that's what you thinks > makes sense.
