I disagree as to the harmlessness of keeping around unmaintained documentation.
1. Leaving existing documentation in place would mislead viewers into believing some level of official support is available. 2. There's no one on the team who uses RSBAC and can verify the documentation is current, correct (and keep it that way) and won't do harm. 3. Why would we continue to host documentation for a technology that is not supported or available in Hardened Gentoo proper? Are you propsing we also host documentation for other technologies we don't utilize - AppArmor for instance? 4. There are plenty of good places to put non-official documentation, such as gentoo-wiki.com. 5. The documentation is forever available @ http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo/xml/htdocs/proj/en/hardened/rsbac/ I am truly sorry it has come to this, but "it is what it is".
