Thread:Project:Current issues/Archiving rather than deleting

The pages of about 50 extension which were tagged with security issues were just deleted. I think this is quite a drastic step since extensions providing according features must now we completely rewritten from the start rather than being fixed. Also deleting is the "wiki way of last resort" which is not justified in this circumstance. I think archiving extensions is preferable. Thoughts? PS I am not opposing to move these extensions out of business.
