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.
