Oh, wow.
My observation is that treating documentation thoughtlessly is frequently a leading indicator that "treating their community like shit" is coming soon.
Product folks and developer evangelists: never do this. Never do the thing where you simply blow away a community-grown resource. If you're absolutely sure you're in a situation that's the exception, you are probably still wrong. Wait a year or two after you're sure. Then warn people and give them a year to save whatever they think is valuable.
Any other approach is telegraphing either thoughtlessness or contempt, possibly both.
