According to the upgrade guide (
https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/migration.html#other-considerations):
"If you need your URLs for Mailman 2 archives to work, you can keep the
HTML files generated for the archives around and your web server
configuration for the archives intact (possibly with a notice to viewers
that it is now a read-only archive, see this list
<https://mail.python.org/pipermail/security-sig/> for example)."

Here's an example: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/security-sig/ (with a
notice).

It means, the old archives will stay the same (and accessible/searchable
with the new interface as well) but new mails won't get added there to the
old archives. I think that's a good compromise.
