Shouldn't docs.python.org be removed? It seems to add mroe confusion than anything, especially since most links on python.org continue to point to python.org/doc/.

All the web says about 1200 links into the docs.python.org subdomain. (Different to the google link feature, which only shows links to a specific URL I believe.)

http://www.alltheweb.com/search?cat=web&cs=utf8&q=link%3Adocs.python.org&rys=0&itag=crv&_sb_lang=pref

It's where I link to as well. Be a shame to lose it. ;-)

The above docs are from August 2005 while docs.python.org/dev is current. Shouldn't the old docs be removed?

(Now that I work for Google I realize more than ever before the importance of keeping URLs stable; PageRank(tm) numbers don't get transferred as quickly as contents. I have this worry too in the context of the python.org redesign; 301 permanent redirect is not going to help PageRank of the new page.) -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
