So what's your suggestion on their future?

A: Remove them and say "they are removed" in a "Changed since" section.

B: Move them to an appendix and say "they will not be developed anymore 
and please do not use them".

C: Keep them in the old section and say "they will not be developed 
anymore and please do not use them".

Thanks
Max
