There are two real issues in the threads - (1) what to do about pre-1970 data in general (where I object to its deletion as part of merging IDs)
We appear to have consensus that this data should not be deleted, so this no longer appears to be an active issue.
(2) the removal of the 16 year old rule wrt one zone per ISO-3166 code The "Move links" stuff is about (2), not (1).
The "Move links" stuff did not change any zones, so it would not be affected by a "one zone per ISO-3166 code" guideline. And as I mentioned in a previous email, the older guideline was not "one zone per ISO-3166 code".
