I think deletion is better than bothering with the "simply move obsolete/ directory" option. HOWEVER, far better than either of these is to *annotate* the old stuff.
The one reason against deletion is, that it becomes a bit difficult to find deleted stuff in SVN. One way to make this easier would be to have a HISTORICAL_README with the deletions documented or, which I would prefer, a tag in the commit message saying "DELETE filename" (or maybe repopath). Then it is quite easy to spot deletions without having to svn diff. Deletion also has the benefit that the stuff that has been deleted is, when going back to the revision where it has still been present, in the context where it has been used (which is obviously important to properly understand the deleted artefact) kind regards, Stefan -- Mag.
