As a user, I found the byzantine complexity of the site pretty frustrating in 
the beginning -- although now I am kind of used to it. But I recall finding a 
lot of seeming duplication; for example, when I looked for installation discs 
with TDE. Somehow I would end up finding different sets of pages, apparently 
because legacy items were allowed to remain, then new pages created for newer 
distros, and so on. 

It doesn't really apply to my own situation now, as I decided to roll my own. 
However, it occurs to me that we might want to preserve an archived version 
of the old pages, at least for a while, until the new pages supersede them 
completely.
