Strong request that you do *not* remove *any* content (but feel free to
copy whatever you like). Please note that there has been no board nor
Avalon PMC decision on this subject.  In the meantime work is going on
concerning migration and I strongly recommend that nobody disrupts
anything before migration of everything is complete and *this* community
signs off on that process.

Cheers, Steve.
