[Mesa-dev] Removing out of date Mesa wiki pages

[Benjamin Bellec]

And what about removing the "RadeonProgram" page [1] ?

>From my point of view, this page depicts a wrong picture of the Radeon Mesa
driver. While I'm pretty sure most of the current and past games runs fine
today with r300g/r600g/radeonsi, this is not what one could think at a
first look when reading this page. Moreover, the table stops to the Radeon
HD6000 series.

This page is useful if user can update their input, but the wiki access is
restricted.
