I have to say that I'm not really feeling comfortable with this commit.
While it's true that several of those documents are outdated and
historic there are some that still apply quite well and might be useful
to get new users going more quickly (at a point before they have the
source code, i.e. when booting from the LiveCD).
Wouldn't it have been better to review them one by one and see what can
be scrapped or not?

P.S. Joerg told me that the reason they were removed was that groff is
no longer needed in the buildtools then. While I see the advantages of
this it feels sorta strange to have useful documentation removed to
achieve this goal because it doesn't help the new user searching for
documentation.
