The gem5 website still advertises the retired Jira tracker and Slack workspace through active documentation, navigation, and an invite page.
Remove those active references, delete the obsolete Slack invite page and logo, and retain the underlying technical explanations where Jira links previously supplied context. Dated release posts, roadmap posts, past-event material, and fixed historical tutorial artifacts remain unchanged as archival records.
Validation:
git diff --checkA local Jekyll build was not run because the installed Ruby 2.6 environment cannot resolve the current
