I was looking at the WineHQ CVS last week-end (trying to add a section about how to contribute to Wine and to beef up the about section) and, at least to an untrained eye, it looks like it contains many obsolete files that should be deleted. Here are some examples:
* a number of files exist in both .html and .shtml form. Isn't the html form obsolete?
about.html & about.shtml contrib.html & contrib.shtml search.html & search.shtml who.html & who.shtml
* some files have multiple versions lying around
refs.html & refs.shtml & refs2.html index.shtml & indexold.html
* there is a number of file that I'm not sure are still in use
threads_etc, referenced from design.html which is referenced, but commented out, from indexold.html & test003.html win_utils_test, does not appear to be referenced anywhere shots.html, referenced only from indexold.html
Is there a good reason to keep the above files? Did I miss something?

Yes. It's just that nobody has taken the initiative of cleaning up. One reason might in some cases be that there may still be pages out there on the net that still link to them, but I think some .htaccess redirects are already being used for a couple of those pages, in which case the .html versions can certainly be deleted (applies to download.html and dev.html).
