I thought of that as well, esp. taking into account David Lawyer's
last msg indicating the actual content update (from the Net3-HOWTO
to the Net-HOWTO) was minimal.

It was prior to us having any sort of review process.

Which is probably another good reason to replace it with
the prev. version (although I haven't looked at the license in
the early revision). Replacing it would also get rid of the many
"donation" links strewn throughout the document, which I agree
are quite irritating.
Unless we hear a compelling arguement against doing this within
the next couple days, I'll put the old HOWTO back in place
(I might convert to docbook xml first), and we'll add it to the
unmaintained list. Hopefully someone will pick it up ASAP.
