They are not "harmful" but they contain links and references that are
no longer valid and there is no benefit in updating them even if that
was possible. That is why I thought that leaving them untouched except
for a note to indicate that they are obsolete and removing links to
them from the site was the simplest solution.

I am digesting the proposed alternatives (thanks to all) and
consulting the documentation to see if I can translate Apache
directives to Tomcat.
