I suggest it's time to move some more things from the
ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs directory to old-gnu/emacs. Perhaps everything
before 21.4, including all but the last stand-alone elisp-manual and
lisp-intro?

I think adding a README that says leim and the two manuals are
included from 22.1 onwards would also be helpful.

Please do both.

I don't know how (and even if I did, I suspect I don't have the
required privs). Can somebody help? Do I email <ftp-upload at gnu.org>?

Yeah.  The automated upload system apparently doesn't handle file
moves, so this will probably have to be done by hand by the FTP
admins.

What does the archive command do? I used it for some old w32 binaries,
but I can't see where they went.

/old-gnu/ seems to be a snapshot of the ftp server from when it was
restored after the breakin a few years ago.

That's not what gnu/emacs/README.olderversions implies. (Until I saw
that, I was going to suggest creating gnu/emacs/old.)

old-gnu/emacs/windows is very nicely organized, by the way. :)

Maintainers used to have full access to the FTP server, so things could
be organized as the maintainer saw fit.
Now, the upload procedure is much more limited.

The GNU sysadmins moved the old files.

Please could some emacs person with the ability to add files to the
ftp area upload a README file, with contents along the lines of:

  As of Emacs 22.1, leim, elisp-manual, and emacs-lisp-intro are no
  longer distributed separately, but are included in the emacs tar
  file.

I asked the sysadmins to do this or explain how.
