Some of them are about bzr but they are quite out of date, and probably
just misleading to most people who would read them.  We should perhaps
keep them somewhere for historical interest, and the ones which still
have value could be moved to the wiki.

They used to be on the web site under /obsolete-docs but in the recent
reorganization that seems to be broken (?).
