For reference, the rationale given for the removal of the old news pages is stated in a comment to the corresponding commit, cf. <https://salsa.debian.org/webmaster-team/webwml/-/commit/e92471ba4917f0ec62d22e04229928e5531698f4#note_556263>: | The old issues of DWN are still available in their original location on | the Debian mailing lists. www.debian.org/News contains two links to the | mailing list archive. But on the web page, we want to show only the | relevant news to our users, which are the recent ones from the last | years, but not the very old ones. HTH, Flo - who also thinks that removing the old content is wrong but also thinks that it is up to debian-www to make a call on that, and who now just wanted to clarify the references from commit to thread and vice versa
