I believe the reason the URLs in global.ent have the "-306" attached
to www are because we occasionally run a script that checks all of the
URLs in the manual; if a given URL reports a 301 ("Moved
Permanently"), then global.ent is updated to reflect the "preferred"
URL.
This is actually IBM's fault; if the change of URL is not permanent,
then they should be using 302 status codes. Instead, there are a mix
of 302 and 301 status codes.
OK, I see. The guidance is that all IBM URLs should be published without
the node suffix, since it is subject to change, but I agree that the day
when it changes is likely to be further away than the next time a 301 is
reported.
I'll put them back in global.ent. I'll even try to find how to report
this within IBM :-)
