What's useful out of my old DHCPv6 project (which I'm planning to nuke
either way)?  Or out of the dead-and-gone "ethbridge" project?

And haven't I said many times now that I wasn't planning to nuke any
of the useful things?  I'm just baffled that this isn't getting
through.

Not that I know of.  The messages they've sent so far make it clear
that they'd like to move less dead weight to the new site (rather than
just finding a new location to store the dead weight), and that other
than deletions, they don't want any substantial changes (so new
project instantiation is going to get shut down for a while).

However, it seems like the rough group consensus forming is that we'd
like to hang onto our useless tchotchkes.  Great.  Less work for me,
and, as I said, I've passed my point of caring.

Have fun with those old pages.  :-/
