Hello MIT/GNU Scheme people,

I recently was pointed to this MIT/GNU Scheme documentation URL:

https://www.gnu.org/software/mit-scheme/documentation/mit-scheme-ref/Terminal-Mode.html

I found that access to your documentation via that URL is currently
broken and yields a HTTP 404 error.
Evidently the relevant page has been moved to the below address, but
without leaving a redirect:

https://www.gnu.org/software/mit-scheme/documentation/stable/mit-scheme-ref/Terminal-Mode.html

This leaves incoming links dangling, for example links from Wikipedia,
etc.

I have not checked whether this is a general problem that might affect
many more pages beyond just this one. I imagine it could be the case
that this issue extends beyond MIT/GNU Scheme to many other GNU
software documentation pages and gnu.org URLs. I think you would be in
a better position to check that. Whatever its scope, I do believe this
is a bug worth fixing, because, as Tim Berners-Lee put it, "Cool URIs
don't change":

https://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/URI

Many thanks in advance,
