As far as I could see there was never a reason given beyond the terse one in [1] and there had been no followup to the various threads about the content removal. While I understand the desire to cleanup webwml, it feels weird that we do that to the news content - vs. not showing old news entries in frontpage listings. Usually news archives should be preserved. Now you could say that we could arrange for redirects to archive.org when you hit those pages, but that has not been set up either. But to me the weirdest thing is that quite a few complained and there was no real response rationalizing the decision. Kind regards Philipp Kern [1] https://salsa.debian.org/webmaster-team/webwml/-/commit/e92471ba4917f0ec62d22e04229928e5531698f4
