During that Toolchain Summit, there were also discussions of per-version

who decide to live in the past don't have to be such a burden on those
living in the present and looking at the future. Sadly, little progress
has been made on this since.
I used to run one of these!
I abandoned it several years ago because nigh-on all the traffic was
bots trying to index it. I handed over maintenance to someone else, but
it seems that Real Life got in the way. Anyway, all the code is still
available at https://github.com/MorayJ/cpXXXan.
