Hi Jonathan, hi Konstantin, While scanning through the internet for kernel documentation, I stumbled upon the old deprecated htmldocs under https://www.kernel.org/doc/htmldocs/. I see that on https://www.kernel.org/doc/, we already point out that 'htmldocs - Kernel Documentation in docbook format (deprecated).' is deprecated. If I am not mistaken, all the content from htmldocs has now been transformed into .rst and has potentially evolved further and hence all relevant information should also already be available somewhere in https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/. Is it now time to delete the content under https://www.kernel.org/doc/htmldocs/ for good?
I think that time may have come, yes; perhaps just have it redirect to https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ instead? Thanks, jon
