We need to be careful. This is actually a very popular page with many 3rd party websites linking to it and around 4000 visits/day. It is also the top link for Google queries like "openoffice for mac". So I'd recommend either keeping the page and updating it. Or replacing it with a page that says that the Mac port is now full integrated with our releases and then link to the download page. Or put in a 401 redirect from that URL to the download page. But it is well-trafficked enough that we can't have the URL vanish. -Rob > Marcus >
