Well we definitely don't want to upset or alienate anyone but what is the
point of keeping such information around if it doesn't mean anything
anymore. It's kind of like keeping the Queen of England as the ruler of
Canada but yet she has no say in anything that goes on in the country.

My worry is that if the admin team doesn't exist anymore we may be giving
the community false information about the project.

Tough spot to be in by the sounds of it.
