I would prefer if you keep it around but perhaps add a note at the top saying that parts of it may be out of date.

Just the other day, I answered somebody's query in emacs.help newsgroup by referring to the FAQ.  It didn't give him the right answer, but it pointed him in the right direction.  The FAQ still has tons of information that I don't find anywhere else.

If you need somebody to maintain it, I am glad to take it on.

Oh, and, Thanks to Richard for explaining the reason why Emacs is supported on Windows.  I didn't know there was such a coherent reason.  Like I was saying this morning, free software developers don't have to explain anything.  But it is nice when they do.

Cheers,
