Yes.  Could you open an MR for this?

> 2. The copy published at https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-kernel-handbook/ch-versions.html is very out-of-date (2018).

The canonical location, which is updated by CI, is
<https://kernel-team.pages.debian.net/kernel-handbook/>.  (Previously it
was on Alioth and briefly it was <https://kernel-handbook.debian.net>
because Alioth went away before Salsa Pages was ready.)

I was not aware that there was a copy on www.debian.org, and it's not
clear to me how and why it got there.  The Wayback Machine shows it
being there as early as 2015 which was some time before the Alioth/Salsa
transition, and it was obviously updated at least once after that.

I'll contact the web team to see if this can be replaced with a
redirection.

Ben.
