My take on it: It all needs to be preserved. Whether or not it's public, that's up to his estate.

Yes, I am a data-horder.

As many of you may be aware, Bruce D. Evans <bde@freebsd.org> died in
mid-December.  I am currently looking through his digital estate on
behalf of his family and the FreeBSD Project.

I have discovered that he kept an extensive collection of 5ΒΌ" floppy
disks.  I haven't looked through them but they appear to include
things like OS-9 and Hitachi Peach files (and presumably Minix stuff,
though I haven't found any of his Minix work).  He also has a
selection of newletters from an Australian Peach users group.  Is
there any interest in this material from a historicial perspective?
