I noticed that the iproute man pages are up to date but the LaTex documentation is very out of date. Rarely updated since the Linux 2.2 days. Either someone needs to do a massive editing job on them, or they should just be dropped. My preference would be to just drop everything in the doc/ directory. The current versions are so old, they can't be helping.

FWIW, removing stale documentation sounds sensible to me.

I removed all the stale ones. The file ip-cref was occasionally updated.

If my vote counts, I will say to drop it. Thanks

They are gone now in current git repo. If anyone wants them they can resurrect them from git and revise them.
