When I say "link rot," I'm specifically referring to the issue of content remaining accessible over time via a particular URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link_rot I understand that LibreOffice needs someone to keep the servers running, however unless there's an issue with our software, floeff alone could probably keep all of the pages on the wiki, the Ask site, etc... up and running (as static content) for the next decade. If we're going to link Answers on the ask site to content outside of the Ask site, we'd like those links to remain accessible for as long as possible. To ask a slightly different question: Is there any plan within LO to remove hosted content or to further change urls for hosted content?
