I favor keeping stuff that is no longer in common use, but separating
it from the current stuff.  Maybe not calling it an ``appendix'', but
``section 2'', or something to that effect.  I also like the idea of
including longer documents that Offer Insight into Hacker Culture.
Perhaps this should be organized as several sections, current jargon,
non-current jargon, and long examples.  This would tend to become
fairly long, but I think that is ok.  Heck, floppy disks hold over a
megabyte these days.
