Just remove these; there's good chance there wasn't anything useful there anyway.

If we delete the links, we make it harder for any interested person to ever find them. Assuming that we want to keep information about these product families in the documentation at all, I'd think that we would want to have the online information as well. So I'd replace these with wayback links, or else just leave them as they are so that sufficiently motivated people can look them up themselves...
The kirkwood processors are old, but they were used in NAS devices. They tend to have a long life time, and people do put Debian on them. Armada-38x is definitely still in use in NAS boxes. If we can have working links, that would be great. Andrew
