That is definitely a good stop-gap solution until we figure out a fix to the underlying issue. I haven't seen any objection to this suggestion either on the bug, on list, or in discussions in the office as a stop-gap type thing, so I'm comfortable with that for now. > My bugzilla comment doesn't' suggest to change away from using these version > numbers. > It suggest to not use these urls directly in any code that makes it to the > main html output. My apologies for misrepresenting it. That makes sense. I updated the wikitech page I started with a clarification (do let me know if I got it wrong still!) How can we prevent this issue from happening in the future without having old versions laying around?
