  Well I could argue about it, or I could tell you that the particular
 project in question had zero active users or interest at the time
 and these days I do not even have an archived repository of the
 historic code.

  I seem to receive one mail every six months asking for the code
 which I cannot supply, and which was incomplete even at the time.

  I'll have to keep saying "sorry it no longer exists" then.  :(

  I'll "hg remove" all files, add a README, and try to configure a
 rewrite.

  That seems to have become non-public/invisible.  I'll unhide it,
 thanks for pointing it out.
