thebeta period (which also explained some of the /devel/, which I likely did). During the beta period, we'll still need
touse the `/NN/` number so the links are accessible, but we can make it part of the procedure to more to `/current/`
whenwe GA. 

That makes a lot of sense.  We also need to use the /NN/ number for any feature
which is removed, to stabilise the link on the last version where it was
present.

Adding a "link-refresh" step to the GA checklist sounds like a good idea (and I
can volunteer to tackle it next time).
