It still baffles me that that's supposed to be a reasonable approach. I
mean, for quite a few weeks that's the only link available. And we want
people to be able to look at the notes at that time. And expecting URLs
to stay halfway stable isn't a novel or absurd thing in any sort of way.

I think the whole project of pruning the release notes was done hastily
and carelessly. At a much larger scope than necessarily apparent from
the mailing list discussions.
