Sweeping it under the carpet is exactly what you are promoting here.
Actually we are advocating greater visibility of the files in question. Current situation: if a reader who looks for Gibbon *by chance* happens to download the Folio files, she *may* realize that proprietary formats are bad. Disadvantage: more probably she will not realize where the problem is because nobody told her and just form a bad opinion of PG: "What the hell do they keep around files if nobody can read them ?" Proposed change: move the Folio files out of the catalog, write a "Hall of Shame" page explaining the problem and link to the Folio files from there. Advantage: people who don't look for Gibbon can see the "Hall of Shame" page. People actually realize the problem because it is explained to them. -- Marcello Perathoner webmaster@gutenberg.org
