Hi,

Sorry, if it sounded like an attempt at a scorched earth policy, I did not
intend to mean that. Taking and updating generic pages would be great and
marking them as such. After consensus, pages for 5 or older that no longer meet
the needs of the project and users, maybe marked as 'old EOL release' until a
time they are decided on for eventual deletion.

Regards

Phil
