Perhaps replacing it with a placeholder page that refers to the Wiki
would be appropriate? A simple summary saying that the HOWTO had not
aged well, and hence had been removed from the official documentation
until it had been updated on the Wiki would allow people looking for
it to better understand the situation, and also how to help improve
it.
+1 on removal.
+0.8 on the pointer with a disclaimer (please also add the disclaimer at the top of the socket howto as well).
there's a lot of editorial misinformation in that page even if some parts of it are useful for the socket unaware...
