+Subject: [PATCH] [CDRIVER-6031] Remove HTML redirect tricks from docs build
+ (#2286)
+
+This fixes our HTML documentation builds with Sphinx 9.0+. After some
inspection, it was found that the HTML-based redirects where never
published to our official documentation, as the dirhtml builder wasn't
being used there. As such, the redirects were never relied on by any
users, so they can be removed without issue.
