Re: [w3ctag/packaging-on-the-web] Please "un-gut" this specification (#35)

> The "gutting" of specifications (which has also happened elsewhere) is more confusing and troublesome than the "obsoleted" language used in @plehegar's PR.

Respectfully, I  disagree with this. Specs change/evolve over time and a large proportion of them "die on the vine". And, although burdensome, it's the Editor's responsibility to update broken links (that's the nature of the web, we deal with it). It's why we've been unapologetically gutting specs at the w3c for years.

Ideally, the WG  should be tracking latest efforts, and updating whatever documents currently point to obsoleted things (to not point to them). 

Note that this specification didn't stop, it morphed into the other specification. The right solution here would have been for the TAG to have given this repository to the WICG, then there would have been a clear migration strategy/story (it helps avoid these kinds of situations).
