Consistency is more important than general annoyance but I am trying to 
find a happy medium here. What if I leave the old file in place but 
empty with a comment of why? Thus the svn diff etc... stays intact.

Considering we are now talking about contributors not developer bios 
that should be sufficient.

I will admit that I didn't change the underlying tables. I wanted to but 
didn't because I am unaware of what else may call to them.
