I would be sad to see any documentation about the package manager going away
from the handbook.

I would be sad to see any documentation about X configuration (which where there
for sure 3 or 4 years ago going away)

I would be sad to see any documentation about ldap going away (iirc also older
than 3 or 4 years ago)

What about the http documentation, thhe samba one?

Clearly the handbook has always documented tools that are not available in base.
