It should contain the consolidated unified policy documentation that is
"currently" active.
The other option is what we currently have, and I am proposing to go
away from. So the idea is that this repository is not a
collection of the accepted policy *amendments* (or *replacements*),
as that's what the RFCs / PRs are still for.

I didn't really know what to do with these documents in archive, as
they were sortof related to the release process/timeline document. I
suppose we don't need them, but they are not *wrong* or *outdated*.
Simply no longer needed as the time frame has passed.
