Having just done the CMS migration I object. There are well over 20,000 pages
on OpenOffice-org. This issue needs to be taken one OOo “accepted” project at a
time.
For example it would be easy to see that almost all of
www.OpenOffice.org/porting is obsolete. Process make a new page on
OpenOffice.Apache.org. Mark all of porting obsolete and point to the new page.

Pages will remain and if mismarked can be unmarked.
