CentOS docs - May 2018 - Guidelines/Policy for removal of EOL content from wiki

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hi all,

With now release 5 and below all EOL for over 12 months[1]. What
guidelines/policy is in place for removal of old and out of date content from
the wiki?

[1] 5 is in extended support upstream and documentation etc. remain available
until November 30, 2020. Should 5 related content remain until that date?

Regards

Phil

I think that the CentOS 5 info could still be valid for newer releases
and should not be removed via a "purge it all" approach. It would be
better to either amend it to say it's generic, read and recommend
deletion of specific pages or amend it to apply to newer versions too.

I don't think you can just delete a page and say it's out of date
because it's old. Some things are still the same as they always were.

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.
