Since the copyright dates at the bottom of that page are '1998-2013', so that the content of the site is now nearly a decade out of date, I feel the FAQ-o-matic now has negative utility, and that you should give in to the urge to kill it.

I respect and applaud the desire to preserve the content for historical reasons, but surely that goal can be served by making a tarball of the content available at whatever page https://www.openldap.org/faq/.../* were to redirect to (ie, the pages shouldn't be 404-ed, but neither should they be 200; 301 is good).

I have previously (indeed recently) looked at that page and, without thinking much about the question, taken its deprecation of LDAPS as current doctrine.

And.... ah, FAQ-o-matic I have fond memories of FAQ-o-matics, back when wikis were new...

Best wishes,

Norman
