Would it make a difference if someone does run that? Were you planning to

Most of the 2.4 code has indeed been deleted *from current kernels*.
It's not clear to me why 2.4 documentation should be immune to that same
process. If we keep every 20-year-old reference, our docs will be even
cruftier and less useful than they are now.
Hi,
the documentation of a kernel should document that kernel.
Now, we have a perfectly fine tool named "git" which allows
for metadocumentation. May I suggest that you respin the patch
and include a link to the old stuff, which somebody has been
nice enough to find, in the change log?
