Please at least remove obsolete information from install.texi - and if you
can determine that anything in trouble.texi refers solely to obsolete
ports, remove that as well. (Grepping for obsolete system names in the
source tree, especially where a whole CPU port has been obsoleted, may
find further references to remove, e.g. in the testsuite. There may also
be such residual references for systems removed in the past. Note that we
keep the references in contrib.texi.)
(Cleanup for target macros no longer defined, etc., is quite reasonably
separate, but the direct references to the target by name are best
eliminated at the same time as the target.)
