Yes true
These are more or less historic interest document :-)
Now that we have "The Debian Administrator's Handbook"
https://www.debian.org/doc/user-manuals#debian-handbook
and resources such as wikipedia.org, we can skip most of these.
Maybe moving these to
https://www.debian.org/doc/ddp#other
may be an idea.
But I am a bit reluctant to make such an action since it labels LDP as
old/outdated/... etc. which are all negative. Does someone have any
positive attitude change suggestions?
