Yes. It was there in my draft, and I removed it. It's a separate issue: I was asking here about what to do with documentation for used, but unmaintained packages. But you make a good point: if there's a lapse in maintainership, and the product then becomes maintained again, you don't want to lose the documentation. Greg -- Sent from my desktop computer.
