I don't really have a problem with this - I think that it should be
for the server team to decide what they would like to do about things
like this, and if the server team would like to drop the package,
that's no problem. It's important to me that the guide continues to
follow the same string freeze rules, to allow translators to have an
opportunity to ensure that the localisations of the guide are as up to
date as the English version, but you've indicated in your email that
this is the plan, so I'm happy.

If the serverguide html is no longer shipped in the desktop help
system, I wonder whether we should also have a conversation about
whether the advanced-topics document is still helpful. It provides
links to topics which desktop users probably won't use and may be
surplus to requirements. The one document that might conceivably still
be useful is the basic-commands document, but I personally think that
this document doesn't have too much relevance for a desktop help
system nowadays.

What do others think?
