Email was never private, and won't further burden myself or
any future maintainers with trying to maintain someone elses'
privacy.
Offering private support is also unfair to readers on public
lists who may get a watered down or improperly translated
summary (if at all).
Instead, encourage the use of anonymity tools and scrubbing of
sensitive information when the sender deems necessary.

HTTPS helps some with reader privacy and Let's Encrypt seems to
be working well enough the past few months.
This change will allow us to reduce subjectAltName bloat in our
TLS certificate over time. It will also promote domain name
agility to support mirrors or migrations to other domains
(including a Tor hidden service mirror).
http://bogomips.org/unicorn/ will remain available for people on
legacy systems without usable TLS. There is no plan for automatic
redirecting from HTTP to HTTPS at this time.

Additional advertising for the gmane NNTP server makes sense
from a robustness standpoint:
nntp://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.ruby.unicorn.general
Not advertising other HTTP-based URLs just yet. They could contain
images/frames/JS/CSS and add unnecessary clutter to the footer.
NNTP puts the client in control of UI.

* add nntp_url to the olddoc website footer
* update legacy support status for 4.x (not 4.8.x)
* update copyright range to 2016
* note all of our development tools are Free Software, too
* remove cgit mention; it may not always be cgit
(but URLs should remain compatible).
* discourage downloading snapshot tarballs;
"git clone" + periodic "git fetch" is more efficient
* remove most mentions of unicorn_rails as that
was meant for ancient Rails 1.x/2.x users
* update path reference to Ruby 2.3.0
* fix nginx upstream module link to avoid redirect
* shorten Message-ID example to avoid redirects
and inadvertant linkage

wrongdoc was difficult to maintain because of the tidy-ffi
dependency and the HTML5 changes in Darkfish could not be
handled well by Tidy.
olddoc is superior as it generates leaner HTML which loads faster,
requires less scrolling and less processing power to render.
Aesthetic comparisons are subjective of course but completely
unimportant compared to speed and accessibility.
The presence of images and CSS on the old (Darkfish-based) site
probably set unreasonable expectations as to my ability and
willingness to view such things. No more, the new website is
entirely simple HTML which renders well with even the wimpiest
browser.
