Re: Fabric v1.1, v1.2, v1.3 documentation
Brian Behlendorf <bbehlendorf@...>
I do not think it is ever wise to
remove old documentation, even with automated redirection. There
are valid use cases for examining old docs, from understanding how
a feature evolved or was first introduced, to helping that poor
kid who was dropped into fixing a downtime issue on a production
platform that the kid's predecessors didn't upgrade as they
should. I often have to go find online user manuals for old
hardware long out of warranty or support. I realize those docs are
in Github so they're not disappeared entirely (nor of course from
the Internet Archive), but for both those use cases, reading
through the source trees or doing a local build of the docs is
pretty cumbersome. I'd sooner recommend a big red banner across
the top declaring them out of support and that the authors
urgently recommend the reader upgrades to a supported release.
