I do not see that my opinion on the future of a file I committed 8
years ago should carry much weight when I have not been involved with
the web site for over 3 years. Additionally, this request comes in
the middle of a long bug that I do not have the time to read now.
As a general statement, though, I would agree that the contents of
the Debian web site should not contain information that is wrong or
intentionally misleading.
As an aside, I most certainly have not been MIA since 2004. It is true
that I have not been involved with the Debian web site much since
2002 and do not read the debian web related mailing lists, but my
involvement with Debian continues.
