Instead, I think we should point them to the FSF directly on our web site, since they seem to want the support hassle, and if a response isn't forthcoming, refer the user to the old web pages. If any advice given by the web pages turns out to be wrong, we can update and refine the documentation to always be right. I'd go so far as to say, the reference to the web site should be right under the pointer to the FSF. :-(
