Well, the obvious thing to do and imho what we should
do, like, *right now*
is extend the lifetime of the old branch to the timeout of the cache.
Simply not deleting a directory is very, very easy.
That is definitely a good stop-gap solution until we figure out a fix to
the underlying issue.
I haven't seen any objection to this suggestion either on the bug, on
list, or in discussions in the office as a stop-gap type thing, so I'm
comfortable with that for now.
My bugzilla comment doesn't' suggest to change
away from using these version numbers.
It suggest to not use these urls directly in any code that makes it to the main html
output.
My apologies for misrepresenting it. That makes sense.
I updated the wikitech page I started with a clarification (do let me
know if I got it wrong still!)
How can we prevent this issue from happening in the future without
having old versions laying around?
