[all] Linking to sites will break or become misleading overtime.
Hi All,
A comment more than anything:
In our DBCP 1.7 RC2 VOTE email thread in progress now, you can read:

Yeah, if you look at
https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-dbutils/checkstyle-aggregate.html
you'll see 1104 errors.
=============
The page at the link I pasted:
https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-dbutils/checkstyle-aggregate.html
is about version 1.6 and works today but will be overwritten once we
publish 1.7 making tractability impossible.
I wish we archived sites for all releases... which would be handy when
someone is stuck to using an old version.
Then my link could have been:
https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-dbutils/1.6/checkstyle-aggregate.html
or something like that. I think a few components here and there do archive
old sites but we do not have a generic and automatic way to do that for all
components.

I just noticed that all sites have been archived for our Commons CSV:
https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-csv/
I love that!

I tried one approach for Commons Codec:
https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-codec/
See the nav bar under Site Archives.
It's yet another thing to deal with during a release though.

This is a great idea. Something that hits closer to home for me is how the
API docs disappear for older versions.
https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-dbutils/apidocs/index.html
vs.
https://home.apache.org/~thecarlhall/dbutils-1.7-RC2/apidocs/index.html
For DbUtils, this is particularly interesting since the 1.6 release has
been out for so long.
