If it's unmaintained and there are bugs about the document, we generally
remove the link from the index but the document remains
(http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/ldap-howto.xml is still available).

If the document contains more erroneous information than your memoires, we
move it up the Attic.

True, but without someone experienced in this area it's quite difficult to
write such docs.
