Neal, could you please delete all the temp files in whatever directory is used to build the documentation? I wonder if there's a *.aux file or something that still has labels from the 2.5 document. It might be easiest to just delete the whatsnew/ directory and then do an 'svn up' to get it back.

I would guess this has everything to do with how the updated docs are deployed and little or nothing about the cleanliness of the working area. The mkhowto script should be cleaning out the old HTML before generating the new. I'm guessing the deployment simply unpacks the new on top of the old; the old should be removed first.

For the /dev/ area, I don't think redirects are warranted. I'd rather see the crawlers just not bother with that, since those are more likely decoys than usable end-user docs.
