I would just delete them -- we have plenty of such material on the
website.

See Skip's response.  Toss it.

Toss it.

Yeah, drop it.

Hm, *that* one is cute as a historic document.

You can also lose cheatsheet (a *very* old summary, there are much
better ones around), comparisons (we have comparisons on the website
now), faq2html.py (no longer used or relevant), and renumber.py (ditto
-- we now have the FAQ wizard so we no longer maintain the FAQ in text
form).
