That sounds great to me. I'd like to be link-compatible with the old
kernel.org docs section (even if through redirects) so that old links
work (assuming kernel.org gives us a wholesale redirect).  Which means
importing all of the docs for released versions. I don't know if the old
kernel.org doc tree was saved anywhere, but if I understand correctly,
they are identical to what's in the "git-htmldocs" repository (which I
_thought_ Junio wasn't going to keep updating, but it seems pretty up to
date).

[...]
But the contents of htmldocs does _not_ match what used to be at k.org in
that its git.html does not have links to documentation pages for older
releases, iow, formatted without "stalenotes" defined.

Ah, that makes sense. We might have to just rebuild the old versions
with stalenotes, then (our doc toolchain is so finicky that I worry
about minor incompatibilities in building old versions with a newer
toolchain, but it is probably good enough).
