This is what I already did when I pushed the upgrade of the lifting package. I contacted René Thiemann and proposed to make his AFP entry empty except for a single file that would explain what happened.

As far as I can remember, he wasn't happy with this solution and proposed to keep the entry and put the information that this entry is superseded by something else in the description of the entry.

I can see now that even this didn't happen: I guess I assumed that René would do it and he assumed that I would do it. This is my fault. I should have made this assumption clearer.

Bests,
Ondrej

The first step would be to contact the authors of the entry.

If they agree that it is superseded by something else, the entry can be made 
empty, with an explanation/referral to whatever replaced it.

Cheers,

What is the purpose of AFP/Lifting_Definition_Option? Isn't that already 
superseded by an upgrade of the regular lifting package?

I've come across a broken AFP/Lifting_Definition_Option several times, and then 
spent extra time to maintain it, wondering if this is just dead code anyway.

Is there a procedure to remove obsolete material from the AFP?
