Yes for sure, but useless zipped information is useless
anyway.

Initial revision
Why not to keep it on another place? Or what would be a scenario in which someone could
use them for something?
I mean I dont want to just drop them I really just wondered why to keep something in the package
if it doesn't seem to be useful.
Regards Nico
