Well, I would consider it a broken link, it's a link to something that does not exist. I can understand this workaround of asking N-L teams to approve all builds, and surely it would be a way not to confuse users too much. But I find the approach flawed: the only sustainable solution would be that download.openoffice.org knows what builds are available. Technical limitations of the download system should not turn into a burden for N-L teams. I think it shouldn't be terribly hard for MirrorBrain to produce a snippet of JavaScript, to be updated at every mirror synchronization, that would simply provide an array of available builds. The current download pages could just embed it and modify their current behavior based on that knowledge. Wouldn't this be a better solution?
