Sorry to be a PITA, but...

1) Why? I thought we had agreement on using /8.3/?

2) You do realise this leads to the mirror having to store *four* copies
of the documentation, and not just two?

3) What do you plan to serve up on that URL once we're not in beta?
Links will be all over the place, so it can't be deleted...

I don't recall anyone actually discussing the use of /beta/.

No, I suggested /8.3/, and nobody proposed anything else...

Right. so they're up now. If you agree with my concerns, perhaps we
shouldn't put the docs up under that URL?
