Just because content is not super-fresh, that does not make it
*bad*. What happens when people start planning another project and
look for documentation about what was considered and what happened
last time, for example?

This is *not* user-facing documentation, this is documentation about
what has been worked on inside the web team. By all means move/rename
it under the team's area in the wiki, but *don't* just remove it
because it's old.

Deletion of history *for the sake of it* is not helpful.
