I was thinking a brief notice like:


(Bigger text or a colored background, like the tags currently)
This page has been deleted because it covers an unsupported version.

(Normal text size)
You are being redirected in 10 seconds to [NotFound] which can give you
pointers to upgrading and/or finding more up-to-date information.

(Possibly smaller text)
If you would like to see the old content instead, please [click this link].


Cheers,
Pasi
