You're exactly right - we need to consolidate these pages so that
there's a lower number of them to maintain and we need to update
everything. What's more is each JBI component page needs to fleshed
out much further.

Agreed - the lightweight components are pretty much deprecated by the
simple fact that they're not JBI compliant and nobody has worked on
them in a long, long time. Besides that, we don't really recommend
them to anyone because of these reasons. I think it's a good idea to
note that they're deprecated and point to the JBI compliant component
that takes it's place (if there is one).
