I think that's a bit too black and white. How to install java on FreeBSD =

like SMPng where it might be relevant later to see a bit about the =
challenges etc. which may explain why some things are done as they are =
even today, is IMO rather different.

Ah, I had forgotten about that one. Yes, for historic articles that's =
fine.

That said, that seems like a directory which we need to put into some =
archive VCS... ah, so many TODO's :-).

PS. what I forgot in my first mail on the topic: I really do appreciate =
that people are trying to clean up old cruft!
