Removing lugnet.admin.council does sound like a good idea, but it might be
worthwhile to keep the messages and a pointer to them somewhere. There is
some valuable discussion there, though expressing editorial control over
what is kept accessible and what is not, is problematical. If a link is just
put on the lugnet.admin.terms page in the links section, it would be
accessible, but remove the appearance of being an active part of Lugnet.

I was planning to remove it from the active list of groups, which would mean
that it wouldn't show up in newsreaders or on this old page anymore,

  http://www.lugnet.com/news/groups/index/

but all the messages would still appear archived at the website if invoked
via URL -- kinda like the way the .off-topic.qotd messages are still actually
there, and some of the subgroups of .loc.uk.

That sounds reasonable (and goes with your "never delete messages" ideal).
