Mark knows me a bit, I guess. :-) In this specific case I'm fine dropping those links without a redirect (which may then permeate the obsolete URLs). Unless anyone feels strongly about it (and I understand you don't, Jonathan), I wouldn't put redirects in place. On Fri, 15 Nov 2024, Mark Wielaard wrote: > Sorry for the "stop energy" here.
