They served a purpose once, but we probably have too much material now for such 
a simple mechanism to be useful. I'm not sure they were ever regularly

I wonder if we should just get rid of them. I looked at a few and much
of the information in there is outdated. Useful information could be
moved into the pdf document.

Hi all,

recently I stumbled again over our famour ancient README files, e.g.
http://isabelle.in.tum.de/dist/library/HOL/README.html.

Is there a vision what we should do with them in the long run?

The one of ~~/src/HOL is particularly odd, it mainly consists of some headers for a historic collection of sessions. Other sessions have more informative README.html files, such as Auth or UNITY.

In principle, the Isabelle documents can contain that information in a better way. Maybe the main authors of certain sessions can gradually move their README material to the main document, so that they will disappear at some point.
