Are you sure that the AIX README is outdated ? It explains some
of the details of why there are scripts like ld_so_aix which are
still needed on AIX.
> python/branches/py3k/Misc/README.OpenBSD
Same here. Does OpenBSD 4.x still have the issues mentioned in the
file.

Wouldn't it be better to update this useful file (as part of your
PSF grant) ? Most of it still applies to Py3.
Regarding some other things you removed or moved:
> D SVN-Python3/Misc/maintainers.rst
> D SVN-Python3/Misc/developers.txt
Why were these removed from the source archive ? They are useful
to have around for users wanting to report bugs and are useful
to follow the development of the core team between different
Python versions.
> D SVN-Python3/Misc/python-mode.el
Why is this gone ? It's a useful file for Emacs users and usually
more recent than what you get with your Emacs installation.
> D SVN-Python3/Misc/AIX-NOTES
I guess this was renamed to README.AIX before you removed it.
See above.
> D SVN-Python3/Misc/PURIFY.README
Why is this outdated ?
Should probably be renamed to README.Purify.
> D SVN-Python3/Misc/RFD
That's a piece of Python history. These nuggets should stay
in the Python source archive, IMHO.
> D SVN-Python3/Misc/setuid-prog.c
This is useful for people writing setuid programs in Python and
avoids many of the usual pitfalls:
