The blog content has all been ported over; you can still see posts from 2008 on 
xenproject.org if you have the right URL.

The main cost is that there was content on there that was obsolete; 
specifically, one of the top hits for “Xen Project Trademark” was a PDF of a 
trademark policy that was obsoleted by the 2013 move to the Linux Foundation.

We certainly don’t have a *self-hosted* option, in the sense that anyone could 
go and view them.  Having them backed up somewhere would indeed be prudent; 
it’s worth checking to see if we have anything anywhere, but if we do, I’m not 
aware of it.
