Neither of those are quite what I meant. As I understood Andres'
complaint, it was that right now we have URLs like

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/release-9-6-5.html

but those are going to be 404 beginning tomorrow. It sounds from your
response like this patch isn't meant to restore those cross-version URLs.
Which is fine by me, really, but we might get pushback about it. If so,
there might be material for follow-on work to redirect those into this
new set of URLs.

Right. The latter type will link to the main docs for the associated
release, correct?
